Changed plugs now new problems

Hey guys,

So I gave my LT1 a tune-up the other day. Now, a couple days later I'm getting an EGR code 32 and once in a while (now more and more) when I am stopped and start driving it feels like something's lagging on the right side of the car. It's so hard to explain but it jerks a little bit and it sounds kind of like when you have something heavy in your trunk and you take off fast & it thumps. When I was lowering the car off the jack, it lowered a little fast. It didn't bounce or anything, just came down fast. Once it shifts out of first it doesn't do it in any other gears.

I'm worried it might be transmission related, so I checked the fluid earlier. The fluid is light pinkish and it seems to have little bubbles all over the dipstick. Is this normal, and what do you think it might be causing the problem?

Thanks guys

Don't know about the EGR code, I would treat it like any code and trouble shoot accordingly. If done right your tune up should not have affected this or the trans., but if it makes you feel better go back and double check.
One thing for sure, your trans. fluid should NOT be pink, unless your looking at it on your finger. It should be clear, red and bubble free.

P.S. Smell the fluid it should smell like trans. fluid.

If you smell any sort of 'burnt rubber', your clutch bands are probably going and i know thats not what you want to hear, maybe your EMS is not properly functioning, and the EGR code is probably that god damn EGR valve on the back of your manifold, i had to replace mine recently seeing as how your AFM (Air Fuel Mixture) is determined along with this reading, it will defenityl cause the car to run rich, mine did.

if its light pink your coolant may be leaking into your tranny cooler and the bubbles may be caused by the coolant/ATF mixture overfilling your transmission and causing aeration. Just a wild guess, but it could happen.
