Another Tranny dilema - Auto RT being dumb

I replaced the motor in my wagon, and before the tranny was just fine.
Now, once the car is running again, it doesnt want to drive in the "D" - Drive position. It will go but it slips and takes a bit to get up there. Seems like its stuck in 4th gear. I can drop it all the way down manually with the gear lever and it drives fine, just have to manually shift it into the next gear.
Replaced the fluid and it's where it should be. Doesnt down shift either when you give it throttle as it should. I checked the kickdown cable but I dont know how to adjust it to where it should be in order to kick it down. I played with it a few times and couldnt get it to work. Fluid isnt burnt or anything, its a pretty red color. Fresh stuff!
Reverse works fine, just when you put it in Drive, it doesnt go, just slips until it gets momentum going..
What would cause this to do that? Anyone have a simular problem and get it fixed?
I tried to explain it as best As i could.

Thinking about it, the level on the dipstick is HIGHER than the highest line. only by a slight bit. I put 2 quarts of fluid in it.
Would that cause my slippage?
and if it's on it's way...
repair, replace, change
don't forget the ecu
just that...
I plan on cleaning the shift siliniods (sp?) To see if it will help..
standard procedure if possible, stock, inc. oil.
not an opinion, procedure...
sorry
Just await cable, no prio
I had the shift solinoids hooked up wrong. Prob fixed!!
connected wires instead of a plug ?
They have the SAME plugs. So i guess I mixed up which ones went where. All looked correct but I guess they werent.
well good thing, thats fixed...
Thanks man...
learned a thing too...
ahaaha...
lol
SCORE !!!
leaves the oil...
Dextron what...II?
The stuff I bought was for "Import Vehicles"..
Seems to drive fine though with the oil thats in it now. I do plan on swapping it out to Honda ATF soon, just to be on the safe side.
Its good to have it going again, its been dormant for 2 years now. She's happy!
next to....
if it aint broke...
dont change ptuh oil in it...
great things man...
smile...
Automatic Transmission Fluid...
for 'all' engines...Dextron II...
I was planning on using that...
If it is that engine specific...
no good...
It can be optimized however...
Honda ATF...
? any word(s) on that...
kickdowncable (?)
lol
