Shuts off when shifting or off gas. Starts right up and goes until you shift or slow down to turn a corner, stalls again. Runs at idle wonderfully and while on the gas. What's up here?
Wrangler? YJ? 4WD"?
what engine, what fueling system. Carb. or EFI?

some 87s have a carb. does yours, (nobody can fix enigine not kwowing both facts above and what transmission,.
stalls , moving, only. at stop lights or between gears.
but never just parked idling.
if its random , that would be the EGR valve sticking open.
if EFI , bad idle switch.
if Carb bad dash pot. on carb.
Testimonial: "4.0 L AMC 242 I6. Never at stop. Between gears yes,"
4 litter owned 2 , myself one an 88. with FSM every day owned. ok so is it EFI (renix) or CARB> 87 is the big USA transition year, carbs died after. that. EPA laws. stalls only on the fly. ok. EFI and CARBs are radically different beasts. i know them both but you have to say?
keep in mind in a real shop, i look at my American flag in parking lot, yup, im in USA, then look at the engine and VIN, and see whats there. wow the first jeep EFI (bendix -renix) or a carb.
cant work on cars with out seeing what's there. cant.

Take the air inlet hose off where it enters the throttle body and take a look at the throttle plates. It is likely that they’re dirty and have a build-up of carbon deposits. That is the most common cause for stalling that we see in the shop for your vehicle. Sometimes all it takes is a good cleaning to cure the stalling problem. There is an idle speed setting on your Jeep, but to check and/or perform this service step requires the use of a computer scan tool for your vehicle. If the cleaning doesn’t help ask a repair facility to check and reset, if needed, the minimum idle speed on your Jeep.
Thnx.

check idle air control, tps & map sensor. As usual with electronics, test test test before buying anything/

There could be a number of culprits. My first suggestion is to replace your fuel filter. It may be so clogged that idle speed doesn't draw enough petro to keep cylinders happy. Your fuel pump might be on the blink too. Lastly, you might want to inspect your Throttle Body Injector (TBI). It, too, could be clogged and starving the engine of fuel. Somehow, you've got a fuel starvation issue at idle speeds. Good luck.

Give a try by change your transmission/filters and Transfer case oil.

sounds like a faulty transmission bud.
Could be low fluid, burnt fluid, or worn one-way clutch or brakebands.
Best to let an autobox specialist try it out and give you a full opinion.
