Popular Mechanics on line has published a really fine article on how to service the transmission, the procedure is the same for your car, be warned it is very messy!! Here is the LINKto the article.
Is the fluid level OK? You can check this with the engine running and parking break set. Gain access to the eigine compartment and find the dip stick for the transmission. Please be careful of moving parts when the engine is running. Pull it out and wipe it off with the clean towel. Install the stick and remove it and see if you have a level reading. If not, fill it with the correct Dex type GM fluid that may be stamped on the dip stick. You can ask for help at an auto parts store is you need assistance on the fluid.
If this is OK or your vehicle is not equiped with a transmissing dip stick, you might want to have the transmission serviced (Fluid and filter changed) The transmission shop can also advise you about the mechanical condition of your bands in your transmission and make adjustements if needed.
Check the fluid level. If it is okay, did you change the torque convertor when you changed the transmission? Sounds like one of the two is the problem./
If it won't go into overdrive a speed sensor within the transmission may not be sending the shift signal to the transmission. Check fluid levels to make sure that's not causing the problem. Also, check that the fluid is red color and clean.
Transmission probably needs to be serviced at a reputable shop if you want this problem fixed.
Is it a 3 speed or a 4 speed. Can you tell where the leak is coming from. You need to add until it reads full on the dipstick when it warm and running.
