Coolant will have to be topped up due to air bubbles, did you 'burp' the top large coolant line by squeezing it a few times? That usually helps speed up the process.

The amount of ATF lost out of the radiator is minimal and should not have any effect on anything. Still, check the level when hot and engine running.

I wonder if some of your drivability isn't due to an air bubble at the engine coolant temp sensor, giving a false reading. Or something electrical was not connected properly? Or a small vacuum line is loose?

New ATF line clips would be nice, cheap at the dealer. Your old ones should hold nicely, though.
