When is the last time you tuned the car up? New plugs, wires, filters? Including the fuel filter?
Could also be a air leak.

sounds like the shop that worked on your tranny may have broken a vacuume line off the back of the intake. Was the tranny removed? If it was I'd look over all the vacuume lines that are anywhere near the tranny bolts. Like Hanman mentioned it sounds like an air leak. good luck
