Did you also change the torque converter?

The fluid pump is run off the torque converter. If it didn't engage properly,
it won't pump fluid.

Getting the pump tgo engage is sometimes a real bear. It takes finesse more
than anything else. If you try to force it, you'll ruin it and have to start over.
Another thought is that the cooler lines are plugged.
