The transmission is full of fluid is it not? It may take several cycles of filling the transmission, starting the engine, and cycling through the gears before the transmission will be entirely full. This is especially true if you did not atleast partially fill the torque converter.

Did you install the 3 bolts from the flex plate to the torque converter?

How much fluid did you put in is the better question!

It should take approx 11 quarts to fill the tranny and torque converter.

It's always helpful if you put your vehicle info into the post, then we have a better idea of what we're trying to help with.
