Gawd, do Nissan dealers all suck or what?!

Tell 'em it's the seal around the shift linkage rod going into the
transaxle.  Actually, better call it a "transmision".  I said "transaxle"
to a mechanic and he thought I meant a CV-axle :(

The seal is about $5, there are a couple roll-pins for maybe $1.50.  I'd
guess 0.5hr billable.  They can do it without draining or replacing the
gear oil.
