Did you swap the full wiring harness when you switched transmissions?

I know it sounds weird, but are you checking the fluid level when the car is warm and in park on level ground? I was just wondering about that. Are you 100% sure its not locking up? Take off from a stop with the selector in 1st, then move to second at like 3000, then to third and see if it feels like a 4th shift happens. Its a very loose converter, you might not feel it and you might ahve to look at the tach to watch. Your Brake light switch isnt on is it?
