Coolant temperature sensor does help control some torque converter and shift point. It's inexpensive part would give a shot. Part also helps computer control some fuel injection, timing and egr functions. When part malfunctions should put up a check engine light- have checked at Autozone if so. If not change your fluid and hope for best.
Check to make sure your accelerator cable isn't stuck in a faulted position under the hood or that something hasn't caught. I hit the gas once hard on one of my vehicles and the cable wedged in an awkward spot.
smells kinda burnt and darker than usual
I hate to say it but your likely going to have that transmission overhauled or replaced.
