What do I do if the diagnostic test say bad tranmission and bad catalytic converter?

Could I just get the catalytic converter fix and get the transmission later? The car right just not getting any power but it changing gears well.What do I do if the diagnostic test say bad tranmission and bad catalytic converter?
Replace the catalytic converter and go to a shop to see whats up with the transmission. You may just need to replace a component in the transmission and not the whole thing. Transmissions are very expensive, so if you don't want to spend a lot of money, look at trying to get it fix first.What do I do if the diagnostic test say bad tranmission and bad catalytic converter?
If it revs up when you press the pedal down while in gear, but doesn't seem to accelerate as quickly as it should, then that's the transmission slipping. A bad catalytic converter can rob power too, but I haven't had any personal experience of one going bad. I've heard that when their bad the exhaust get a kind of rotten egg smell.



Transmission repair/replacement is very expensive. A lot of the times it costs more than the car is worth, so if your transmission is going out, start thinking about getting a different car (unless you really like the car and want to fix it up).



Replacement of a catalytic converter shouldn't be too expensive. Should only take a garage something like 1 hour to replace it, assuming the rest of your exhaust is in ok condition, so labor shouldn't be much.What do I do if the diagnostic test say bad tranmission and bad catalytic converter?
If you need to pass a emissions test yes you have to replace catalytic converter. The tranny, if you don't mind getting stranded somewhere and can afford a tow truck, don't fix it. Your playing the game of risk. Don't go anywhere farther than 30 miles from your house. Use the car for work and necessities. Is it even worth fixing anyways? If you owe money on it then you should probably look into fixing it!

What diagnostic test are you using?..... I need to sell that one. I would make so much money on repairing your all's cars..........I would get a REAL test done by a reputable place before you spend any more money.
