Default weird weird problem... need help

ok, for the past 2 weeks iv been driving on the high way alot, and everyday, while im cruising in 5th gear the car like shuts off, feels and sounds like i just let off the gas.. i push the gas, nothing, no go and no rev, but when i push the clutch in and out its all good and i can keep driving
its like when ur going down the street and u turn ur car off going in what ever gear, and u put it to the "on" position and push the clutch and it starts back up... seems to be just like that

anyone ever heard of this? please help me

EDIT: i thought maybe it was the tranny cuz i just swapped it, and maybe it was slipping out of gear... but its not, it stays in gear and when i push the gas it doesnt even rev

just to double check, is the engine on or off (before you pop the clutch out)?

if the engine is off, could be ignition switch. i had to replace that on my previous prelude. which had the sympton of driving down the road, and then everything shuts off. (after replacing the part, honda recalled the prelude and accord ignition switches).

im driving in 5th gear cruising and all of a sudden the car starts to decelerate and everything stays on, except it seems like the motor is off, seems like the key is in the "on" position. i push the clutch in and out and its fine

My friend had a similar problem. It turned out to be his alternator for some weird reason. I guess he was having a charging problem? The car would bog all of a sudden and make that odd noise Honda's make when you press on the gas and it won't start. Then it would just shut off.
