I rekon your torque convertor is stuffed, you may need a new doughnut. I think they do that when fins break off in certain spots...

My G wagen will stall under certain conditions. Idle speed when in D is critical. If the idle speed falls under nominal (lets say 750 rpm) when you are in drive then it's possible the drag of the converter, especially when you are rolling backwards (with the gearbox in D) will be enough to stall the car. That's the scenario with my Gwagen. with the idle speed slightly raised it doesn't do it.

I'd check that out first.
