Ok so did you put any fluid in it? You have a transmission dipstick that tells you how full the transmission is. Now you check transmission fluid while it is running in park or neutral. You pull the stick and wipe it off and put it back in the tube and pull it back out and not the fluid level. If it don't touch the stick then put in 1/2 quart first and check it again. You will need a long funnel as you put the oil in the dipstick tube. Let me know what you find.

Ok so tell me what all did you take apart? What diff seal are you refuring too? Was it one of the axle seals or the torque converter seal or ? Did you get the shift linkage or cable back on correct? I just think it is something simple that is being overlooked. Let me know what you can so I can try to help figure this out with you.
