Oh God, another problem
Got a trans cooler line leak fixed, topped off fluid to correct level, then went thru the gears, they worked fine. Put in park, to double check fluid then went to run thru gears again. This time I had nothing, no forward gears or reverse. Shift linkage is correctly adjusted. Only thing about this replacement trans, is that the kickdown lever would just spin around freely, not sure if that would be causing my problem

It would seem obvious that it is no longer a working transmission. All too often, that transmission that worked fine when pulled X amount of years ago does not work when reinstalled. Guessing what may be the cause is risky at best.
How about the whole story, both on the replacement transmission as well as what was wrong with the one originally in your truck? Details such as engine type, transmission type, mileage, and any other pertinant detail will help.

does rpm go up and down when you go from in gear (drive or reverse) to neutral or park? what happens in gear with you throttling up and down a lot, doesn't try to move at all when revved? Sounds just low on fluid, did you check while fluid is super hot? That's when you should, not cold, not warm, full up operating temp.
