Stupid P0420 cel and transmission.

so i got my P0420 for about 2 weeks..and last night i got the cat inefficiency code fix and got boost back up to 0.92-0.97 bar.
it's still not holding boost at 0.97 , it would peak at 0.97-0.99 bar and then drop down to 0.92-0.95 bar.
now my first gear clicks and very knotchy when i try to put it in gear..
that really pisses me off.. with all the little problem happening right before track day..
bleh. my car is a crap box.
ARG!!

it's just 1st gear.. it clicks when you try to put in gear at a dead stop.
i never put the car in 1st gear when the car is rolling either.

What do you do if you're going too slow for second?

2nd gear is usually ok at even a very slow rolling pace.

I hate it when I'm behind some old ****** in a camry and have to come to a complete stop because the ***** is driving 10 mph, too fast to go into first, but too slow for second. I think that's pretty normal for that excuse for a tranny, mine is pretty notchy sometimes in first and in reverse.
