Stalling

My Trans Am keeps stalling when I put the car in drive or reverse. When I start up my car starts up fine and runs well, when I put the car in drive or reverse the car stalls, the RPMs go up and down and then it stalls but it does not stall in park or neutral. I had my carb rebuilt, the problem stopped for a couple weeks and then the problem came back. Does this problem sound like a carb problem, if so what should I do. Also the guy that rebuilt my carb said I had a small vaccum leak might that be the problem? I need help bad, if I don't get the car up and running my parents are going to make me sell it.
Thanks

Where is the vacuum leak? Why didn't the mech. fix it? Fix the vacuum leak. That can cause your problem(lean idle mixture). Richen up the idle mix a little if it still stalls after you fix the vacuum leak.
