Why is my 97 Nissan stuck in first gear

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! There are so many reasons that pickup is giving you a hard time! Start by checking the transmission fluid to see if it's full and clean, not low or smelling burnt. That will eliminate that possibility. Next, it could be a failing solenoid or the transmission's internals. If it's manual, you might be seeing a clutch in your future! Getting a pro to check it out might be exactly what the doctor ordered—if I were a doctor, I would order it.
