Check you mass air flow sensor. its connected just after your air filter box, when its idling, gently tap it wiht the handle of a screwdriver, if your idle changes or stalls, its most likely defective.

Do you notice it running ritch? black smoke or fuel smell when accelerating hard?

This could be a lot of things. one of the tests that you need to run is shift it into nuetral when you are stopping and see if it still drops RPM and wants to stall. This will eliminate or conclude that it is a transmission issue. If it is still doing this then it could be a vacuum leak or fuel delivery issue.
