Answer
i really appoligise to say but it doesnt sound good. seems you might have a blown head gasket for the overheating and stalling. take the spark plugs out and look for one or two that are very clean, this shows coolant in the combustion chamber. for the shifting, these cars in that year are real bad for blowing the trani. thats very expensive to fix.
 if you want to fix it, price a trani just in case and check for the head gasket, when you get it running again ill help diagnose the rest.
