When the brake or clutch pedals are pressed enough to make the switches, the ECM will limit engine output.

It wasn't like that either. I wasnt touching the break or clutch. Had my feet tucked up almost Indian sitting lol cause I was just cruising in cruise control mode. Then all the sudden pow no more power/gas, like It went neutral. SO then I pushed the gas pedal...and all it did was rev, but i was IN gear. Droped to 5th gear...same thing...It just reved but didnt apply any power to forward momentum.

kinda freaked out, pulled over...Waited a second. put it in First gear, and it was fine...tried to pull away in second, then thrid, then 4th, then 5th, then 6th, and all gears Now "Pulled", So I hoped back in traffic. And no other problems occurred.

How cold I be reving, but in gear without like a broken transmission?

What do you mean by "rev"? If you could take it to the redline, it sounds like a drivetrain problem (probably the clutch/CSC). If RPM stayed below 3500 or so, my guess is still one of the pedal switches.

Yeah I could literally fully rev it...WHILE it was STILL in 6th gear And I was not pressing the clutch at all... So basically to me it was like "Oh **** my tranny is blown/not being engaged while in gear"... slowly coasting to a stop....

Pulled over, took it out of 6th gear and put it in Neutral... Waited a few seconds... put it in first and it started to pull like normal, so I checked to see if it was pulling in each gear from a stop and they all pulled, So I just got back on the highway and had no other issues.
