It may be your torque converter lock-up solenoid, it is supposed to be free moving while accelerating and then lock up once drive speed is reached but if solenoid goes bad it will either be locked up all the time or free spinning.
Several things can cause your car to stall and shake when you stop. Replacing the spark plugs and spark plug wires may cure the problem.

* cause it needs to be put in drive to go forward
Because reverse is a lower ratio gear than drive and puts less load on the engine.
Why would it stall or almost stall in Reverse but not in Drive? How long since it's received a tune-up and thorough check-up? How is the compression?
Horses that are placed on Airplanes are preloaded into a large metal stall and then slid into a compartment designed to carry them. They remain in the stall until they arrive at their destination. If the horse becomes upset then it would be tranquilized.
I would guess that you have a cooling problem...if the engine runs too hot the fuel can boil causing a stall like you indicated .
i have a 97 Catera and it stalls in either drive or reverse. idles fine for 30 minutes but shuts off almost instantly. replaced CPS and tightened all grounds. No change. but sometimes it will drive beautifully... an answer would be great. next step for me is to fix the valve cover leaks and check all connections and hoses. any help?
Because you can't drive a stick, and its a hard carto drive stickin and first is geared lower.
There would be a spark plug loose n it wiggled and it got back into place and started back up
If the check engine light is on...might be a dirty EGR valve.
your fuel pump can be broken or your fuel injectors...
