Well, good news is I think from suggestions(thank you guys) and the test drive today that the transmisson on my car is okay, but the cat is plugged bad.
I cannot afford factory replacements so what is the closest brand (part number if you have it please) cat that is close to the same dimensions so I don't have to get into heroics?
Thanks for any help

If you have a welder or a friend that can do this for you. You can open it and hollow it out, then weld it back. The car will run like new. The only problem is that it wont pass emissions. But if you are low on cash and need the car, that would be the fastest and cheapest solution.
