You need to do a pressure check. There is a oil pressure port on the driver side above and to the left of the manual linkage. Put an oil pressure gage in that port. In park and neutral it should sit at 30psi. In reverse it should jump to 210+/-, in drive it will surge as you give it gas up to about 90. If you are not getting this response, suspect either the pressure regulator, or I hate to say it, you may have damaged the pump installing the torque converter. (I owned an AAMCO shop and this would happen at least once a month with guys that did this for a living. It is easy to misaligned the tc when you are installing it.
Hope this helps
