I think you messed up, the transmission you put in is not electronically compatible with the computer system in the vehicle. When replacing transmissions the numbers must match, otherwise they transmission will not work right if at all even though it will bolt up. You might try a transmission shop and see if they can reprogram your existing TCM to match the transmission shift points, or try to find a stand alone programmable transmission controller. Those are expensive if you can find one for your year and number of transmission.
