When I shift from neutral to drive or reverse in my boat the engine shuts off

SOURCE: transmission won't engage/ no drive or reverse at all

It's definitely cheaper to buy a trans from a wrecking yard than to have yours rebuilt. Before you do anything though. Did you make sure that the trans fluid level is full? I know this may be a stupid question, but I had to ask. The speed sensors job is to tell the speedometer how fast you're going...not related to your problem.

theres a shift cable if its floor model,linkage for column model.

SOURCE: Transmission or Engagement issue?

I had the same problem with my 2006 Forenza - the problem was the transmission range sensor. If you look under the hood, on the drivers side, you'll see your trans. cable connected to a round part that also has an electrical cable coming from it. That is it. Part costs $36.07 at oemsuzukiparts.com (search for Neutral safety switch in the mechanical catalog).

If I understand you correctly, you have ALL forward gears working, but reverse doesn't?... then the problem is in the transmission itself or the linkage on the trans linkage into reverse.

SOURCE: Transmission stuck in reverse. Cannot

First, get under the truck (chock the tires and set emergency brake) and check the linkage. It's possible it came loose. If it's not or does not appear to be broken, put it into place (for the gear of reverse, should go right into place; if it is off); and then use the shifter inside to set in park.
If it is not off, try pushing the lever (under the truck) into the park postion (should be back - toward rear of truck).
If you cannot move this by hand (you should be able to) then the next step is to check your ****** fluid level. Now remember, generally you would do this while it is hot, but considering the given circumstance, you'll merely check to see if there is any reading. Now, on newer vehicles, for transmissions, there should be a "hot" level, and a "cold" level, so that you can check it while it's cold. Do this, and add appropriate amount of fluid if it's low.
If it's full (check a few times to get the same or close to the same reading multiple times). If you are convinced it's full, contact the dealer or a transmission mechanic and inquire further with them as to the exact problem.
Please let me know if you need furthera assistance.
