Hello everyone, I have a 95 GSX thats an auto and just recently had the transmission replaced. The car starts fine and idles fine in park and even if you put it in gear it will still stay idling fine until you tap the gas just a little bit and then the motor stalls out. I found a leak on the top of the tranny where the cooling hoses are i think but all it was was a slightly loose clamp and i fixed it. I also checked the transmission fluid and it was at a normal level. The only thing I saw funny about it was it had white foamy stuff in it. I noticed this whenever the transmission broke the first time. Does anyone know what this foamy stuff is? It almost seems like the transmission is engaging then it doesnt want to disengage? Any help would be appreciated.
 
I havent checked for any vacum leaks. Is there any specific place that needs to be checked for vacum leaks for this problem? And no CEL is being thrown. I did check the fluid. I cranked up the car and put it into neutral. The fluid looked like it was all the way above the hot level which I guess is too much. I thought that leak would have lowered it though? Im pretty sure it was leaking all the way from the shop which was about 30 miles from my house. Thanks for your responses
 
general boost leak test would be nice to do... also just double check everything is reconnected-- maf, iac, etc...
