If it burnt the new fluid then your looking at eminent transmission failure, so nothing short of an overhaul will fix it. However you can try putting on a quart of TransX along with new fluid, drive it for 20 minutes then let it sit for a few days. then drive it as you normally would. Sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn't. But if it didn't work at least the internals will be all clean for the overhaul guy so he can see everything internally.
