I'll assume you mean an automatic. If so, there are friction plates inside the transmission that get worn out and just like old sand paper gets smooth and doesn't do it's job very well, the friction plates get smooth and don't grip anymore, causing the transmission to slip.

In the possible case it is a standard transmission, it isn't the transmission, it's the clutch slipping.

Why does a Nissan Stanza Auto gear shift move normally but car does not go into any gears you can see the shaft slide into the transmission but car always acts as if it were in park or neutral?

If I remeber corectly the shifter shaft in the Transmision rotates, not go in and out.But regardless of that this transmision has a serious internal problem.It could be as easy as the linkage inside the transmision has fallen apart or the whole inside of the Transmision is ruined.BUT FIRST: Check the automatic transmision fluid level!
