Difficult to shift in high rpm

Difficult to shift in high rpm
I was out of town for a week. One day my dad called me and told me that he had driven the TT and some white smoke came out from the engone bay after he parked it on the drive way. He said he could still start the car, so I tell him to park it back into the garage and wait for me to come back.[:@]
After I got back from the trip, I quickly jumped in the car and I found out the instrument cluster is all blank. I checked all the fuses, all in good condition. Then I start the car again, it works. (Then I quitted bothering that). Another issue I have found out is, I have trouble shifting when the rpm is high. The higher the worse. It feels like the shift knot is stuck in there and I have to use my strength to pull in order to complete the shift. And also, smelling of burning came from the engine bay. I sniffed it for the entire afternoon and it comes from the front side of the engine( and its also posionious, I had chest pain afterward)
Any suggestion? Idea? Could that be happening due to bad shifting from my dad?

First off, what kinda burning smell is it? Does it smell like burning oil, or kinda sweet like coolant?
As for the hard shifting concern if its hard to get in ALL gears then its probably the clutch. Your dad was probably being a little slip happy and fried the poor thing.

lol,the moral of this story is to keep your key from the dads or at least teach him how to drive a stick.
The coolant level is fine, and No over heating whatsoever.
For the shifting part, I am thinking about transmision lubrication of the clutch, any suggetion
My TT has 74K on that

I have found thi thread. And I found this i relatively simular to my situation. So, the smell of mine could be from the clutch.
I hope I am going the right direction, I am thinking about purchasing the ECS clutch.

I truely do not think the smell comes from the coolant. I believe its from bad shifting which messed up the clutch.
