Where the filter fits up into the valve body there should be a seal .. If the filter wasn't installed properly (seal leaking) it can't pick up the transmission fluid .. That is likely your problem, plus the fluid level must be correct! There are some-things the average DIYer shouldn't attempt!

Pushrod, i reseated the filter,the rubber seal is on.i refilled it, still revving. Is. Moves forward and reverse,but barely moves,any more ideas? if the car shifts fine and moves a little bit will you rule out a malfunctioning solenoid? What puzzles me it was fine before i changed the fluid and filter.and when i tried to drive it right after the changer , it Wont move only very slightly drive or reverse more revving than moving
