The engine quit while you were driving???

I think you have more than one problem there..... Start with the basics, check the trans fluid level.

swap the ASD relay with another one, see if that solves the dieing problem.

as for the trans, how many miles on it? ever had the bands adjusted? getting any codes?

Unplug the 8 pin connector on the drivers side of the trans, and see if you can manually shift thru the gears without issue.

That would be the right connector.

You won't get any fluid flow in park. Try it in neutral, (have a friend handy...... you will make a mess right quick.)
