Car doesn’t turn over without pushing shifter forward
 
My 1996 Maxima is an automatic but when I turn the key nothing happens until I pushed the shifter forward

Forward? Into another gear (which gear)

I'm pretty sere in the shift console area, there is a switch that disengages starting unless in Park or Neutral to prevent unexpected surges into an unsuspecting victim when starting.

Most likely the linkage has been compromised and/or the switch is failing.

Either way, I hope you can still find something that is a direct fit and works well short and long term.

Where can I get a shifter safety switch
 
Is there any specific website

You can get this part at your local auto parts store.

they will know what you want.

the SEARCH or FAQ sections of this forum should bring up the installation intructions.

But, this may be a part where OE might be the smarter choice.
