Glad it's running. You may have it way over full, or it's overheating and foaming up. Does it look foamy? Could also have a clog or a stuck valve in it too, but that is rare. First check the fluid level. If it's not to high. Try taking it for a drive and see how it acts. Run it through all the gears, starting in manual low, 2nd D etc.
Are you familiar with out to properly check auto trans fluid? Trans fluid at operating temp, motor running at idle, trans in Park, then check it like you do motor oil and read the stick. If you checked it with the motor off or cold, that will not be accurate.

Welcome to the site. When does the tranny pluke the fluid out the dipstick? Does this happen when you turn the engine off?

My bad luck

Its only done it about 5 times that i know and it did do it when i first started it i checked it while it was cold today the fluid was half way up the dipstick i sucked some out until it was @ halfway to hot and i started it then waited 20 mins checked it and it was barely any fluid @ the tip of dipstick im not sure wether its the right dipstick and the converter is making noise on idle it gets higher when i accelerate and (in park) and it sounds like something whirring and spinning like almost a broken bearing sound coming from converter
