Call whoever you got the used tranny from and tell them you don't apreciate the fact that you spent your time installing a bad trans.

or........... drop 2 quarts of fluid in it and see what happens, disregard the dipstick reading.

If the thing shifts okay once it engages in gear and the fluid isn't low....... you need to have it worked on by a technician. Because you can't fix it without taking a huge crap of a chance that you'll fubar something else up in the process.

My definition of "shifts okay" = nothing weird going on.
