What's your idle speed? Have you checked the fluid? How did it look? Are there any signs of fluid leaking?

Good? how good? Get a old turkey baster and suck out as much as you can. Then top off with fresh mercon ATF. If that makes a difference, do it three or so more times.

I was trying to determine what you meant by "2". It won't run at 2, it won't run for long at 200, and if it's idling at 2000, you've got other issues.
