I suppose you can pull your O2 sensor(before the CAT) see if that makes a difference. Sounds similar to a clogged CAT, but Idk with the shifting problems.

No idea... I lost first gear and major slipping in trans ... and a boost leak on manifold... 4 psi peaking at 5k rpms and car ran a 14.013 @ 103 mph. After a new trans and a motor rebuild with some upgraded internals I blew the seals out on first time i hit boost so i said F it and sold everything. then the built trans i had in grenaded when it was stock.

What would that show? keep the sensor plugged in just pull it out?

If your cat was clogged it would relieve the back pressure. If it is clogged you should notice some restored power. Yes, I would leave it plugged in, just tie it out of the way. Don't drive too long like this, just enough to check.

Really you should drill a hole instead of removing the sensor, but if the CAT isn't the problem, then you have a hole that needs welded shut.
