Sorry, not much help but most transmission shops offer a free diagnosis. Have you checked the fluid level?

Yes. Do you think it could be my mounts?

I guess that could be possible, Nissan uses a fluid mount on some years and it's been known to fail, the fluid leaks out. An easy way to test for this is to downshift to second gear and blip the throttle, if the mount is bad you should hear a clunk as the motor tries to twist from the torque.
