Yep it was the CAT. They (dealership) topped of the trans fluid, they said it was low. Gave me a brief lecture to not use the NAPA gasket that came in the transmission filter kit box. Apparently it could let air in and cause the solenoid pack not to engage. I guess after they dropped the pan and resealed it with RTV, they topped it off. They installed a shiny new CAT for no charge. The grand total for the work $0. Chug a Bug is running just fine now. And some people say dealerships are evil...
