I have a 95 geo prizm. The issue I was having was the tranny so I put in a motor and tranny from a 96 and it was fine at first. I drove home from work (29 miles) and I parked it for about a week. When I went to drive it the tranny wont shift out of gear. When I accelerate the car passed 20 mph it revs high. When I let of the throttle it does nothing until I rev the rpms back up. The car runs great otherwise. Any and all ideas wuold be greatly appreaciated.

The shift cables could be in a bind, caused by worn cables or worn motor mounts causing excessive engine movement.
Could also be the shifter assembly in the console.

I hope you replaced the clutch when you did the swap?
