It's hard to say for sure what the problem is, but there are a few things to consider. One, you may have a bad TCU (transmission control unit) - a friend has this issue on an Audi A4. You move the gear selector to put the car in gear, but the TCU isn't responding right and isn't doing what you tell it to do.

Another idea is that your transmission fluid is low or bad, or the filter is clogged. That's a fairly inexpensive and easy thing to take care of, and might not be a bad idea anyhow, seeing as how the car is just under 9 model years old.

A third possibility is that the sensors under the console where the shifter is mounted are bad, and aren't sensing when you move the gear selector. I'm not sure how to diagnose that other than to install new ones (or ones out of a salvaged car), but contact Nissan to see if their OBD2 diagnostics include chassis and powertrain fault scanning - if they do, they should be able to detect a code in the system that will point toward a faulty component.

Why my car will only move in 1st low gear and reverse

It sounds like your car may have a damaged or broken transmission mount. When you floored it over the rough RR tracks, the impact may have caused the mount to break or become disconnected, causing the engine to move and the car to not move when you shift into drive or 2nd. A damaged or broken transmission mount can also cause the car to vibrate excessively while driving. You will need to inspect the transmission mount and possibly replace it. However, it's recommended to have a professional mechanic check your car for any other potential damage or issues.

2007 Chevy Avalanche 3rd and 4th gear are not working

From what you are describing, it is possible either the 3-4 actuator is no longer playing with the 3rd & 4th clutch packs, only way to know for certain is to hook up the good ol' pressure gauge to trans. system, yeah, you think the Chevrolet dealer should know this right?

Sell it now if you can!

Have 1st 2nd and reverse, no drive 1988 model 2 wd

sounds like 3rd gear clutch is out (it might have blew out a lip seal or something)
pull the pan c if there is a lot of black on the bottom of pan (no 3rd = no 4th either) the 3rd gear clutches are engaged along with the 4th gear clutches to make overdrive
if the tcc cable is out of adjustment it mite shift at wot (wide open throttle) max rpm (5000-5500)
if it just 1,2, neutral its probly clutches
