should I change gear oil after burning the clutch (2002 wrx)?

I smell the clutch burned when backing up a hill. This happened a few times.
Should I change the transmission oil?
This is for a 2002 manual shift WRX. Sometimes it has the cold clutch shudder, but I
haven't demanded a repair yet.

Not because of the clutch smell. The clutch runs
dry, outside of the transmission case, and burning
the clutch would not affect the transmission oil.
