YOU COULD HAVE CLOGGED FUEL FILTER AND FUEL INJECTORS.ALSO CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID.IF LOW TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP GOING UP HILL.NOT ENOUGH FLUID TO BUILD UP PRESSURE FOR OVER DRIVE.

Testimonial: "Thanks alot for ur response i hope thats the problem and nothing bigger"

A motoe mount would not let it loose power. It would however make the motor shake causing the eddect of it missing. Check the main motor mount that attaches the motor to the frame that is in front on the car just above the radiator. It has a large rubber bushing that sometimes goes bad on this vehicles. I have included a picture of what it would look like.

2001 Buick Regal shakes when idling.

Suggestion only! If you had no shake before the tranny work,then retracing the steps backwards is a good way to find the new problem.
Go back to the tranny shop and complain #2 go to another tranny shop and get a professional to look at their work.

1996 Buick Regal shaking/chugging

If the check engine light is on, most likely it is take it to Autozone or any auto parts store. They can scan it for free and let you know whats wrong. Or you can get a scanner like this one, its good to have. There are more expensive diagnostic code readers. These will allow you to check all sensors and then you can compare the specs with oem specs. I you plan on repairing the car your self I suggest you get a Haynes Repair Manual.
