Does the engine idle if you AREN'T changing gears?

Idles in Park?
Idles in Reverse?
Idles in Drive?

Dies only when you CHANGE gears?

Re: Engine turn off when I change gears...

If it ONLY dies when you're changing gears, I'd be looking for defective wire harnesses that are being pulled/pushed/disturbed as the engine rocks on the motor mounts.

For that matter, defective mounts might allow excess engine/transmission movement.

If the engine doesn't idle correctly WITHOUT changing gears, I'd have said to look at the Idle Air Control and idle speed in general.

My suspicion is that the engine simply doesn't idle properly, changing gears may make the engine stall, but even without changing gears the idle isn't right.

Timing could be off just barely.
