Was the converter properly seated before you installed the trans? Did the input shaft splines and the pump teeth both engage properly?

Isn't the fluid capacity something like 12 quarts? I could have sworn it was, and that could definitely be your problem if you're low on fluid.

I was going to say something about fluid too. Most automatics seem to take at LEAST 8-10qts. Let the car idle for a while, top it off and try going through the gears again. It takes a while to get oil through the whole system. The converter, trans cooler and cooling lines can hold a lot of oil.
