If you don't install the converter correctly you will damage the pump and get the symptoms you are experiencing, Note below from 4L60e common problems but your trans should be similar:

21. No movement in any gear: pump failure, or total loss of fluid. R&R, or refill pan and find the leak. If out of fluid, avoid running the engine until the trans is refilled to avoid pump damage. To check for pump failure, check fluid level with the engine off, then start the engine and recheck fluid level. If level does not go down when engine is running, the pump is broken.

5 speeds don't have a fill tube. At least vz doesn't. Are you sure they've not sold you a 4 speed? If so maybe the pcm isn't controlling it correctly ?
