Couple days ago did my first transmission oil and filter change , everything went right except when i did the first test trip , the transmission slips on first change when is cold, i had to hit the gas a little times before it change , add more oil and still the same, the oil level is correct , Before the oil change the transmission was good, i did the change because of the oil was burned and i bought the truck 6000 miles ago.

What can i do?

with the oil smelling burnt there could be some internal problems. You may have stirred up some setament on the bottom of the pan, clogging the filter. you can try using a transmission additive or changing the filter again. If they don't help then you will have to take it in to be looked at.
