Thanks for all your input and advise. My local Nissan dealer did put in a "Good Will" claim. We are still awaiting the answer. My luck right now so totally sucks it's not funny. (Going thru a divorce, the estranged is being a jerk... to put it nicely)and now this. To try to answer everyone... I did call several mechanics, after Nissan the next cheapest was $4300.00. Nissan looked for an old or rebuild and couldn't find one. The $4300.00 was with a new trainy. Prices ranged from $4300.00 to $5500. Outrageous right??!!

Basically what's happening when I put my baby in 1st it's like it's in neutral, it just revs. The teeth are gone. So far it's taking off fine in 2nd. Nissan said most likely the clutch will go before another gear goes and there's no idea when that may happen. So... I'm not traveling around much and being very cautious cause I don't have another vehicle. Not one problem with my car in 5.5 years and in the last 2 months I went thru the following: replaced rear brake light, replaced headlight, replaced battery, replaced 2 tires and now this. My first instinct (and don't take this the wrong way guys) was sabotage from my estranged. But I know that can't be possible. It's just all to wierd. To add to the suck factor is the car is only 3K and 6 months over the 5 year/60,000 warranty.

I will definitly keep you all posted. Hoping to have an answer ont he "Good Will" claim this afternoon. Thanks again. It is truly appreciated.
