After searching the contour/msytique forums (www.contour.org) the concensus with people with this problem seems to be a bad trans mount. Take a look and see if your trans is resting on the subframe.

Which motor?
Does it idle fine till it warms up? or just stall as soon as you shift it , reguardless of engine temperature?

There's also the possibility that it's your engine wiring harness as Ford had a recall for this. The wires had a history of cracking and therefore shorting. This can cause stalling because the wiring harness connects to all the sensors and regulates ignition.
