Problem with a 5-speed '96 Infiniti I30

Hello group,

I realize that this is not the Infiniti group, but the cars are twins as far as I know mechanically (correct me if I am wrong here) and heres the problem. I was driving on a beltway yesterday at about 65mph in

5th, and when I tried to downshift to 4th - I couldn't. It wouldn't go in, feels like the shifter doesn't go far enough to engage, the gears just grind. The same thing happened in the 2nd gear as well. Interestingly, the 4th came back a few minutes later, but the 2nd is still dead - no matter how I play with the cluth, it doesn't engage and just grinds and throws the shifter back out. Any ideas?

Europe doesnt belong to that world... maxima here is maxima as it looks like a maxima...

btw, a clucth issue would affect all gears.

Nope. The 3rd gen maxima, 1988-1994, looks the same all over the world. The 1995-1999 USA Maxima, and I beleive the 2000 onwards as well, are unique to the USA. it's just a body style change. Same doors, engines etc, though.

The 1995 and onward Infiniti I30/I35 etc in the US is the 1995 and onward Maxima in the rest of the world, including Europe.
