93 maxima starts in park but stops when i shift to reverse

Sounds like your engine timing needs to be advanced and yes I know your car is fuel injected and has coils but there is a small nut on back of jets that when loosed it can advance engine timing and the speed idle speed (driving with foot off the gas normally at coasting speed of 5mph.) My car did the same as yours but tune up and idle adjustment has my idle speed at 6 mph an no problems.

If you normally have to depress the brake to shift out of park the solenoid on the steering column that releases the shifter has gone bad.

your i35 is a maxima

Sorry, no solution. I have the exact same problem and it started about the time you posted your problem. If anyone offers a suggestion, please let me know too. thx.

your problem lies in the internal parts of your transmission which are the clutch linings, they are already worn out and starts to slide.

you have to step on the brake to shift to reverse or park from drive

if it won't engage reverse the trans will need to be overhauled, the rev clutch has failed inside the trans.

sometimes stuff falls down into the cracks where the lever is, so try that. but there is, inside of the console that the lever is on, a cable that wraps around a little plastic roller, and it has gears on it that make it click into Park, or Reverse, or 1,2, OD, whatever. sometimes if those get worn out, the little plastic part will get stuck into park, because it is supposed to lock into park, and you have safety switches in there too so that you cant shift from park without pressing on the brake. so check and see if it is the cable, the check the plastic part, i think it should be green.

shift linkage needs adjusting,,could be bent, easy fix, located along firewall to fram beneath the column, ask your son wut he ran over and didnt tell u about... hope i could help...:)

What engine? Rear wheel drive ?Sounds like shift linkage or cable out of adjustment slightly. Have a look at where cable or rod attaches to transmission for adjustment. If not sure of what your looking for get back to me with info.
