I have just acquired a 96 king cab,the previous owner changed the tranny
from auto to manual.The clutch does not engage very smoothly and the
speedometer works on and off,it drops from a sensible reading to zero and
fluctuates widely, the odometer and trip clock also works on and off what
could it be?please help me?

i read somewhere that some speedometers work from a cable in the tranny
while some work from an electric sensor which also controls the odometer
and the trip clock, does the 96 king cab use the sensor? it seems so to me
cus when speedometer stops working the odometer stops also.

It's electric (no cables no more :-) ). I forget what exact year
Nissan switched everything over but it was early 90's at the latest.
It `could' be a speed sensor, but I think you'll find that the
majority of the time when your speedometer AND odometer stop working
together that the speedo assembly has failed and it's time for a
replacement. Not terribly expensive from the parts department and
they'll match up your mileage when you place the order so you
shouldn't need to fool with special forms in some states due to the
mileage not matching the vehicle (like you're `suppose' to do if you
replace it with a speedo from a salvage yard with 40,000 miles when
yours has 140,000 miles).
