Was the pump shaft (small splined shaft in center) properly seated? If not, the pump drive may be broken. Trans will have to come out and be torn down. Common problem, delicate part.

Prior to installing my rebuilt engine, my tranny worked fine. Now, that it is installed, my AT does nothing.not so much as a clunk. Now when i worked on the motor, I did take the torque converter off, it did leak some fluid out. But i did reinstall and put the 3 bolts to hold it in place. It spins with the motor. I broke the motor in and bled the coolant in the driveway, adjusted valves, CO mix, etc., and then i was going to road test. But it would not go.

I checked fluid, seems OVER FILLED now. what gives? I added no fluid.........
