Bubbles in transmission fluid

You didn't say whether the fluid level was above the recommended mark, was it?

Was the trans warmed up when you were checking the level?
If the bubbles are air, an overfilled condition could cause that. Have you been able to tell if the bubbles appear to be air or possibly water?
