Default Clutch burning

I'm new here but not new to Mustangs. I'm 49 years old and have modified my mustangs since I was 15......most of them a standard shift. I bought my first new mustang a little over a year ago.........an 08 GT/CS. It has been to the Ford garage 4 times in ref to a TSB on the sincronizers.... about 6 months ago. I now have the smell of my clutch burning when I stop at a light, and no, I dont run it hard. I put a new MGW shifter in it about 2 months ago. The makers of MGW said the shifter would not cause the clutch to burn.
Any comment ?
Thanx

It's not the shifter, if it's been to have synchro's redone 4 times??? then even if they removed the clutch only once then the wear pattern in the clutch was disturbed and that's why she is most likely slipping.

Would it take a few months for me to notice it?
