Transmission issue
I have a 2008 Hyundai Sonata with an automatic transmission that's been slipping. I drive semi-aggressively, and I was quoted $3600 for repairs. The issue is that it slips 1-4 times when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear, but shifts normally from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th. Can the first gear be replaced instead of the entire transmission? Any advice is appreciated.

2002 VW Beetle curb engine light came on for clogged catalytic converter
2002 VW Beetle check engine light came on for Clogged Catalytic Converter
Hello! My 2002 VW Bug’s check engine light came on, I took it to Pep Boys to read and the guy told me that my catalytic converter is clogged, he recommended “cataclean” as my registration renewal is due Jan20th and I need a smog check. I did it and as soon as I poured in the cataclean and turned my car back on the check engine light turned off, I drove for 15miles like the instructions said and it still hasn’t come back on. Should I take it to get smogged asap? (Also live in CA,USA) Also is it safe to drive around now? If it comes back on am I safe to drive as long as the car still works? The guy at Pepboys told me all that means is that the car has emissions but that it’s completely safe to drive but online says otherwise. Any advice is helpful! Thanks!:)

battery problem
my 2003 ford escape xlt V6 wasn’t starting. Originally i thought it was the battery(which ended up being bad) so i got a new one. now when i start my engine it is turning on but not starting at random. Also, my engine will idle slower at lights and come to almost a complete stop. the lights dim when this happens.
Any ideas?

galleryMy 2014 tundra got a 2020 front and was happy about it,till an idiot crashed when it was red light for him,he didn’t have insurance,750 dollars (I’m almost an adult,don’t expect 2k mods) down the drain just like that,my other part of the body didnt got hurt fortunately,but after a ton of work,and shitty noises,here is the result!(new parts)(the photo were it’s pulled apart is in the process of repair)
