Default Clogged Catalytics
I have a 2003 Windstar with the 3.8 and I assumed I had tranny problems as their was a constant shutter from 1st gear to 4th but only in over drive.

Took it to the tranny shop today and they said my catalytics are clogged causing the shutter I am feeling. My fuel mileage is about 16mpg even with the suggested clogged catalytics.

The van seems a little sluggish, I can here a loud swirling sound when I honk on the loud pedal and there seems to be the sound of marbles that are almost not apparant.

Has anyone ever experienced catalytic failure in a vehicle that is only 5 years old?
