Well damn, I think i figured it out. I can shift fine manually so i don't think it is the tranny at all. I put my hand over the exhaust and had my buddy run it up to 3k and I have never felt hotter exhaust so quickly. I think the cat is clogged and/or bad. I am going to take a sawzall to it this afternoon. I assume that it is the 2 X resonator looking things right after the O2 sensor. Please confim so i dont take off the muffler system instead
