Shifter cable bracket... SOB!
...when it rains, it pours.
On my way to 9-ball league, slight roag rage with aggressive driving slam 1st to 2nd, tires spin, redline, slam to...
...WTF? Nothing. No gears. Shifter is loose as if connected to nothing. Damnit!
Stuck in 2nd gear.
Apparently this sounds all too familiar based on my search. Hope to get part tomorrow if lucky and dealer(s) have one in stock. There are 3 Nissan dealers within close distance, so crossing fingers.

Just got off the phone with Dave B. He's confused as well.
There are four different part #'s.
34448-AU000 for 2002,
34448-8H800 for 2003,
and then 2 more for the 6th gen...
We both concluded that all 4 should be interchangeable since the trannies are interchangeable. I took the plunge and decided to order the most recent part # for the 6th gen.
Here's the kicker, the 6th gen parts are super cheap compared to the 5.5 gen. Total shipped is only $16.72!!!
I will let all know how this goes in a couple days when part gets here.

And I definitely feel your pain dude, Same thing happened to me. Once you get the newly "same pos designed one" you'll start shifting slower. Also shifting so hard from 1st to second only causes you to lose traction. Take half a second more and you'll get in safely and pick up faster.
Here's the link.. part # 34448

funny, the guys at my local dealer did not even want to order a different part number. they were acting like it will not fit when i knew it would. i ordered the one from the sixth gen max, 15$ more than the altima one, it was the same damn one from my 3rd gen altima..
basically, the altima one is cheaper.

My 6th gen bracket is on the FedEx truck out for delivery today! I will take pictures once I get it and let all know how it went.
This is Nissan's 4th version of this bracket since the 5.5 gen was released. Sort of tells you something about the bracket, doesn't it? 4 different designs in 4 years...
