  Burnt fluid is a major red flag, first start saving for a new transmission, it wont last much longer,
  
  before long it will start to slip
  
  To keep it going a little longer , get the fluid and filter changed, along with a flush, this may help.
  
  most likely you have a blockage in the detent valve for 2nd gear cleaning may remove it
  
  but if the fluid is burnt the damage is already done
