#166152 distributor shaft is keyed offset. it won't go in 180* out.
u might have mixed up the map sensor with the tps connections, common mistake.
you need to fix the axle before you drive it, you could damage your new trans.
don't know what can get the cat red hot, never seen that!
maybe it's plugged up?

#168373 point the little clip up and wiggle it back and forth it will pop in if not spin the pas side tire so the internals in the trans move some and try it again
