Transmission Problem
I was having issues with my transmission with delay engagement in the cold mornings for first few shifts for sometime so I decided to clean my valve body to see if this helps. I cleaned the Valve body and also changed 3 sleeves for shifting (parts from Sonnax). when I installed the valve body back but I forgot to install the TRANSMISSION FILTER and just started the car 
now the car goes into gear for may be 3 seconds, move may be 5 feet and then it goes back to neutral. I install the filter back but it is doing the same.
I also replaced the conductor plate in late December.
Please HELP

I got my car diagnosed with star diagnostic however it does not show any faults I have the screen shot of the screen showing pressure and current of the solenoids but I do not know how to post it.

My Transmission is FIXED. it was Valve body. It shifts perfectly smooth like new.
when I was changing the sleeves with the new Sonnax sleeves, I accidently swapped the 72.6 (command valve "3-4") with 72.7 (shift valve shift pressure "3-4").
Yes, he did check ECU and transmission and there was no FAULT, everything was checked. He checked the Solenoids current and pressure.
