ok i need to know why when im driving and im, in high RPM's in lets say 2nd gear and i push in the clutch to shift but if i dont shift right away the car's rpm's goes down to 1000 rpm's and then eventually 0 and the car stalls out. but if i pop the clutch when the car is 'dead' but still moving it starts againwhy does it stall out like that??anyone ever heard of this before???

Do you have a cone filter or stock?

This is a little vague but there is a few things I have to ask a few questions first before I can try to lead you in the right direction.

Is the transmission and associated hardware (clutch/flywheel/etc) all stock?New clutch or new clutch service done recently?Idle smooth while in neutral?Clutch booster working?How is your clutch fluid reservior? Low or high on fluid?

Sounds like it is more engine related that transmission related. I, like previously mentioned by another member above, would try the duct tape trick bottom(but a 1 long piece of duct tape along the bottom of air filter, from top of cone to bottom) if you have the pop charger. Why? Well, the pop charger is known for causing more air flow turbulence issues with the mass air flow sensor. It's a cheap trick that sometime solves the problem of the car wanting to dye after coming off a high rate of speed, the car will stumble and want to shut off and to correct it you have to give the car a little rev to correct.

While you are doing this I would definetely consider doing basic service on the transmission as well (ie, check your fluid, check the check valve in the clutch booster line and look for any cracks in the hosing as well).
