I have smelled this once and awhile and yes it is transmission or clutch related. The one time I smelt it the most was packing into a parking spot on an incline. The reverse gearing in this car is bad and to get the clutch out in reverse it wants to go 20 mph. So I had to ride the clutch a "little" bit because someone walked behind me while I was backing up and I smelled this smell. For me, I only smell it on those occasions and not sure if it is syncros burning or the clutch. If you smell this during daily driving you might want to get someone with a lot of manual driving experience to ride with you and watch your shifting style, you might be riding the clutch when shifting.
