This is my car: 1992 turbo, 5-spd, 56Kmile

The stalling happens only periodically It usually coincides with preparing to shift in to next gear (i.e. disengage clutch, put in neutral) while trying to accelerate onto the freeway. When this first started happening, I would be going along at a pretty good clip and not realize what was happening until the steering wheel would go heavy. Bump-starting the engine by popping the clutch has always allowed me to keep moving.

After reading this board, I thought that the turbo bypass valve was bad or that there was some other vacuum-related problem. Now, however, I have observed some things that leads me to question this idea. Could it be a clutch disengement issue or a not-so-slick bearing somewhere? The even that actually triggers the stall appears to be moving the shifter from N => the next gear. Right when the it feels like the syncro is starting to work, the car stalls. I usually havent finished the shift when it happens.

Needless to say, I am very confused. I would appreciate any suggestions. I've posted the main observations in the list below. Thanks

(1) The stalling only has happened when I try to move the shift lever from N to the next gear (typically n => 4 or n => 5). Typically, when this happens, the transmission seems pretty incooperative.

(2) In general shift quality has been inconsistent. That is, sometimes it's very easy and then other times it's like I'm scraping through to the next gear. It's not grinding, just incooperative. I make it a point to only apply light pressure to the shifter when making a gear change, and I've tried all sorts of tricks to coax it go get in gear without a lot of force. Sometimes, though, you have to tell it who's the boss, you know. I dont know how to comment on the condition of the transmission otherwise. I've only had the car for a year.
