1st and 2nd gear, toast.....
On the way home from the tire shop, just put stock wheels on because I busted one of my 17's, I went to downshift from 3rd to 2nd and it wouldn't go into gear. I was thinking, there goes my second gear, this sucks. Luckily I was only a block from my house, and it's all down hill. When I parked my car at my house, I tried to put it into 1st gear and it wouldn't work either. 3rd-5th and reverse still work so I know it's not my slave or master cylinder. I've been expecting my tranny to go out for a little while because I noticed my input shaft bearing was shot. It just sucks that it did actually go out. 
I think I'm just going to part it out. Not sure just yet.

Does anyone know how much it'll cost to rebuild the tranny, have it cryoed, and shotpeened
How many miles were on it when it happened?

funny u mention that...i went through the seemingly EXACT symptoms and i bled the clutch hydraulics and found a marked improvement. the board is kinda split as to what is causing the rest of the problem - a tie between the clutch and the tranny.
also, how did u come to notice that ur input shaft bearing was shot?

Signs of the input shaft bearing going out is a grinding sound when the car is in gear going down the road,and in neutral with the clutch let out....Also when the tranny is about to die you will start having diffuculty getting to go into gear....
The grinding sound is louder in 1st thru 3rd gear...

dude, don't freak out about this yet.
the 1-2 lockout is common when your input bearings are shot. what happens is the chunks coming off the bearing get stuck in the shift linkage and prevent you from being able to move the shifter into gear.
See all these metal chunks:

they get stuck in here:

get the tranny rebuilt and call it a day. this is a $100 fix if you buy the parts and do it yourself.

Don't waste your time. you're looking at several hundred bucks, and it's not goign to do a damn thing to save the weakest parts of these trannies.
they don't break gears, they eat bearings. nothing you can do about that.

when jeffs engine blows why not just rebuild that one... anyway, swap the parts and mods you want from your car into his and i'll buy the stock remains of yours w/broken transmission...

so are you going to buy a 3rd maxima when the input shaft bearing in jeffs tranny blows to pieces after doing the turbo swap? it will most likely happen repeatedly if you go turbo.
how many miles are on the car and how much do you want for it? with or without certain mods.. i don't care about shift *****, sway bars, intake, ect... take all that stuff off if you want. flywheel/springs and struts would stay on i assume. do you have the stock counterparts for your mods?

I just don't think anyone will pay the amount I want for the car (plus shipping?).
I'll pm you.
