Car dying while approaching right turn

Just happen this morning on the way to work.
Driving around 35-40 MPH and a driveway entrance to work parking place is approaching, so naturally I slowed down. Just right before making the right turn drop the clutch and shift from 4th/5th gear to 2nd gear suddenly the engine dies and luckily I still manage to use my power to turn the car into the driveway and stop the car. BTW my left foot still on the clutch.

Immediately after the car stop, I did crank the engine and It comes back running again.
I am so afraid of this thing happening while I was driving on the highway.

here is the bio of the max
Y2k, 82K on the odo.
Manual Trans
MAF is still original
Regular oil maintenance
New plug at 50K and TB was clean prior to that.
no major engine mods other than K&N drop in.

any of you have any thought?

Thanks,
