97 sentra

i'm getting sick of people trying to fool me all the damn time......
I have a 97 nissan sentra with the following problems:
1.) check engine light- shows EGR valve error code (how much do u think
it costs to replace it)
2.) transmission (automatic): is a bit jerky during shifts (when the
engine is cold), and sometimes makes a light "thud" in rush hour
traffic (slow speeds, constant braking and 1st to 2nd to 1st shifts-
(in D of course)
3.)car has 114000 miles, don't know if it ever had the transmission
fluid changed? since i bought it at 104000.
4.) If you know of a place where they will check everything
(faithfully) and give some logical answers/ and reasonable prices...let
me know....Los Angeles,hollywood, lax whereeveer

now why am i sick?
1.) i have been told to replace the catalytic convertor by one mechanic
for 600$!!!!- while the other wants to change the EGR valve for about
300$
2.) someone says i should get a new/used transmission....for a lot of
money....while the other mechanic says its absoultely fine...
3.) the suspension makes a creaking sound on braking hard/
hills/handbrake release, but they won't grease it claiming its fine and
you can't grease anything on a 97 sentra!!!!!
the list is long ...someone help pleeeease!

Before you have someone replace your EGR valve and feel silly when it
wasn't the problem, check the lines going to it. It could be that you
have a simple vacuum leak causing your issues.
