You should fill it till oil starts pouring out of the fill hole, or if there are two holes one will act as the fill hole and when oil starts pouring out the other its full.

It will probably take approx 2qts of oil, be careful not to over fill. Make sure your car is level.

Well....lets see here.

You are sure everything was put back together correctly? The clutch pedal is all hooked up?

What happens when you put the car in gear? Do you hear anything?

Your problem does not sound like a problem with the trans.

The only thing I can think of is a badly worn out clutch.
