Assuming you have a 722.315 fitted =>

Make sure you've drained the torque converter and then measure in 6.11 litres of dexron II ATF.

Take a look at that volume figure - point one one! It might seem a little bit anal not to just say 6 litres but you need to make sure that you know exactly how much fluid is in the transmission. This is really important. Measuring the volume with a graduated measuring cup is what is needed for this - do not "use the force" and judge the level by eye on the marks on the outside of the bottle.

After filling with ATF do not race the engine - give it some time - just imagine the front pump pumping all the good stuff round the transmission for a bit...

...check and adjust your throttle linkages and the linkage to the Bowden cable. Check your vacuum system.

If that doesn't do it report back.
