I have a 2003 Hyundai Elantra. The transmission wont shift out of first gear. I was told by a mechanic that the catalytic converters were bad and he could do them for $1500 each. Is this possible?

The converters won't prevent it from shifting. Check the computer to see of there are any trouble codes for the trans.
