Welcome to AF.
Could be the person that rebuilt or the person that installed it.

Did you flush the transmission rad cooler when you installed it?
Does it have reverse?
Is low gear slipping or solid.
Can you manual shift it threw the gears.
Is it locked in second gear?
Is the fluid level good?
Full hot in park engine running?
Any check engine lights or blown fuses?
Check you electrical wiring and plugins.
Is the speedo working?
Why did the rebuilder not install a good quality rebuilt converter when he rebuilt it.
You also need to get it on a transmission capable scanner and check shifting data and for codes.
Post back any codes.
Was it a complete rebuild or just a patch or kit job?
What all was bad and what all was replaced with the rebuild?
Got any warranty on it?
