Might have a shorted solenoid in the transmission that is causing the fuse to blow when you put it in gear.

Look at the obvious first, maybe the shift linkage is rubbing wiring causing the short. Maybe try unplugging the connectors going into the trans and see if the short goes away, if so then drop the pan and take a look at the wiring and solenoids.
