Can someone tell me whether I'm getting pimped or not. I just got my transmission rebuilt, and now they're telling me my catalytic converter is bad. I went up to the shop and when you try and give it gas it just shuts off, but they disconnected it and it would run just with EXTRA loud noise. I just paid 1800 dollars for my trans, and now they want 295 dollars for a new converter, does that price sound fair? I also asked them to just eliminate the converter and they would'nt do it, they said the car would not run properly. What should I do?
