Default Most bizarre thing happen to me today! Unable to Rev past 2500 RPM!

Okay.. this happened 20 minutes ago. I'm leaving this big supermarket. I was slowly driving in the supermarket market lot (I'm leaving now) and came to a stop. My car was in 2nd gear (I guess I kinda forgot to change to 1st). I am waiting for this guy to pass and then I'll go but instead I get the "wave" meaning he wants me to go. So, I wave back and kinda gas the engine a little and keep moving. When I pressed the gas pedal, I heard the "clunk"/"weird clutch/gear noise" and I didn't think too much of it. I thought since I was in 2nd gear, that's why there was the noise for. Now I'm waiting at a red light (please note I haven't driven my car yet fully. From stop sign to the lights maybe 200 ft. I haven't revved the car past 2000 RPM yet).

Light turns green, I drive off. I can't REV the engine past 2500 RPM! WTF! I started rowing through the gears because I have to keep moving yet I can't go above 2500! Fortunately, I had the camera in my car and I was able to take a video. Take a look at the video

I only live about a mile away from the supermarket. I come home. At this point, I'm very angry and confused at the same time. Angry because I have to call my local Nissan dealer and ask them to tow my car to their dealership. I not too fond of this dealer to begin with hence I DIDN'T bought the car from them. Before placing the phone call, I turn the car off and on again. Problem still there . I do this few times. At this point, I'm frustated and decided I'll go home and call them from my house phone. So, I BACK MY CAR up by putting the car in REVERSE . Now, just to check for the last time, I put the car in 1st and rev it, IT REVS! So, I take the car out for a spin and it's revving fine.

I have no clue what just happened. Could this be a electrical glitch? I don't know because turning the ignition on/off didn't help. Could this be a gearing issue? Possible. Reverse gear seemed to fix the issue. What do you guys think? Didn't we had a few threads where member(s) couldn't rev past 3500 and shutting the car off solved the problem?
