Correct, the clip that holds the shifter linkage to the transmission fell off on my 2000 frontier due to rust. Before getting under truck block up wheels and engage emergency brake. I crept under the truck wearing saftey goggles because of loose rust and debris, from the passenger side and looked up and there is was, the linkage was separated from post on transmission. You can easily put linkage back on but you will need a clip to hold it in place, it is not unlike the clips on the door lock cams. Add the clip and you are good to go.
It's transmission time,Nissans are known for there transmissions that don't last long,got one,like a tooth ache,gets worst.Dealers don't like doing major work,just oil changes,tire,tuneups,etc.,will tell you something like your a step child.Go to a reputable transmission shop and let them drive or they might know the history of your Frontier,if Daniel Boone was around,he would know,what do you think?
Wow! That is a dilema! The only thing I can think of is that there is possibly a wiring harness that is rubbed through and when the engine rocks when the clutch is engaged, the wiring harness is shorting to ground. If you can tell me exactly WHICH fuse is blowing I can possibly help you to locate the source of the problem. Please also include WHICH ENGINE your Nissan is equipped with and let me know if it is 2-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive.
Either transmission oil pump is on its way out or reverse circuit is clogged , reverse shift solenoid is defective TCM may be defective , transmission range sensor begining to fail or manual shift valve and pressure regulator are defective.
Suggest taking the vehicle to a transmission repair shop they will diagnosis it and repair it.
