I know that some of these things are really stupid, but I've done worse:

Forgot to bolt torque converter to flexplate?

No fluid?

Shift linkage not hooked up properly?

Is it doing ANYTHING?

Can you feel it go into gear, or can you run the shifter though the gears and nothing happens (does the engine idle change at all?) Will it move at all??

How did you install the torque converter? You have to be exremely carefull with them. The fluid pump (on the inside of the tranny) has two plastic dog ears that have to fit into the slots on the torque converter. They are very easy to break off. If all of the above checks out, I might be inclined to believe that the pump is not working? Either that or something is big time messed up?
