Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I belong to http://www.nissanclub.com and many owners of the nissan altima with manual transmission from 2002 to current 2006 models have had premature master/slave cylinder failures which are a safety hazard when you can not shift your car into or out of gear while in motion. many of us find ourselves in a panic mode when we can not stop or go because our clutch pedal has no pressure and we can not shift out of gear while driving. my personal incident involves me having no ability to shift while in any driving situation, such as parking lots and up to highway driving. i nearly got hit while driving south then making a left turn (west) when i could not shift into second and another car was coming in the opposite direction (north). i had to rev my car to redline just to make it past the intersection. if you go to nissanclub.com you'll find may people who have had failures with the manual transmission. *jb
