you might also check the rubber boots on both ends of your transmission housing it only has hose clamps holding them they might be lose with only 55 miles on it the front one may be a little loose these boots connect to the snorkels for your transmission. its just a thought the cats are tough i would not give mine up i also have a auto and i have cross creeks and drove around a 500 susuki and a kodiak sometimes its just your day to get stuck . iwould suggest you get a winch if you have not yet because one day you will need it.
