help with converter

i started my 2000 maxima gle tonight and when i shifted into reverse there was alot of shaking in the car. the shaking was bad while in drive but even worse when i apply the brake. there was also a horrible sulfur smell in the car. my friend said it was probably the catalilitic (sp!) converter. I plan on taking it to a dealer tomorrow to have it looked at. Any other suggestions? Thanks
