"bought a transmission on the web" says it all. I'll bet it was an E-bay item. E-bay is notorious for sellers selling junk. It is likely that the transmission you purchased was not any good when the seller shipped it. Wish I had something positive to say.

Sounds like you bought a bad trans. It has enough fluid in it? Also what kind of trans is it?
