86 honda civic wagon just died on the road!

linkage out of wak or the tranny is out of fluid and locked up

I doubt it very much. The engine slowing down under brakes indicates that the gears are not down shifting in relation to the engine rpm and road speed. run fault codes and look for a TCM sensor problem

Your master and slave cylinder can cause this, try replacing the kit for them and if that does not work then u might need to bu a new clutch.

Need way more information. What's in common when this hapopens? Are you stopped at a light? Slowing down? Shifting into 2nd gear? When you restart, is there a particular pattern or sound when it restarts? Is it hard or easy to restart? Does it start right up, or does the engine spin and "try to start" before it finally catches? And on and on. Try to isolate specific common issues and post those, please.

That is not recommended, as it could cause transmission damage. Since you have a VTEC you should get a power boost at around 5000 rpm which should make climbing hills easier and not need a shift of the transmission.

motor mounts, a bent shift link, or your syncros in the transmission are going out. rebuild or replace for the later

good day Sir, try to check your air filter and fuel filter i hope it will help

inside the hood there are two clips holding the shiftting cable you may have lost them. you may want to check the driveshafts because one of them might have poped out.

Tere may be no solution to this problem because the car has 200,000 miles on it however I can explain somewhat, when engines heat up occasionally we find break downs in efficiencies regarding to moving parts, (loosening up then binding ) this may however not be the problem it may be as simple as fuel pump fatigue after running a while and it can't deliver the appropriate fuel pressure. I would say perform commpression test to assess engine efficiency then evaluate ignition ensuring bright blue or purple spark coming from exposed sparkplug then ensure proper fuel pressure/delivery and check vaccuum pressure to ensure a steady reading of 18-20 pounds of vacuum ... got it if low vacuum replace all vacuum hose to eliminate porous condition of hose therbye leaking small amounts adding up to a larger total accumulative sum. causing poor performance. good luck
