Hi, my wrx impreza 2000 .. the clutch slipping and a burning smell comes from it.. how bad is it and can it be fixed

It is bad and the clutch assembly will need to be replaced and the flywheel machined smooth if possible, a huge job requiring special tools and a high skill level. If you do have the tools and you think you have the skill let me know.

Car: 2003 Subaru Impreza WRX. feels like losing power on uphill drive, and when given more gas, something smells like burning..

It may be the transmission is slipping under load. Check the transmission oil.If the oil is a dark colour and smells burnt
this is probably the problem.

What does the diagnostic code P2181 mean on a Subaru Impreza WRX?

this is a coolant performance code. Usuallly sets this code if the connector was left unhooked to the coolant sensor or the thremostat is stuck open. By any chance do you have a gauge that seems to be on the cold side ??

2000 Subaru Impreza idling and accelerating poorly, burning smell

Try getting the fuel injectors cleaned. clean the mass air flow sensor .
------------------- also
is typically caused by insufficient lubrication to the camshaft synchronizer, which is the short drive assembly installed where earlier engines had a distributor. Once they begin to squeak, the bushing is shot, and the synchronizer must be rebuilt or replaced. They are available new, new aftermarket, and remanufactured. In extreme cases, looseness of the worn shaft will allow the rotating cam to destroy the cam sensor, which at a minimum will activate the "check engine" light and degrade engine performance, but more likely will result in failure of the engine to run. ---------------- also ---
What color is the smoke? Black - running rich. Bluish - buring oil. White - burning coolant.
