have you driven the van to get the new fluid warm and pumped through the whole tran/toque converter?
from dead empty they take allot of fluid. Have you rechecked the level when warm?

the TH400 in my HQ takes a bit to get all primed up when I haven't  driven it for a few months.
it seems to always come good once its in gear for a bit.

Danno,
It was slipping a fair bit when I had it. I was going to overhaul it. The bloke I got it off said it was nearly stuffed.
Good luck with it. Hope it's not too bad.
