You can put the vehicle safely up on jacks on all four corners, have someone run engine at a constant 2300 rpm's for aprox 10 minutes or more (cats have to be hot), slide under the vehicle while it is running and use a infrared point and shoot temp gun, take a reading just before and just after each cat, a good reading would have the cat 150 or more degrees hotter coming out of the cat, (example-450 degrees F before the cat and 600 degrees F after the cat). If the readings are the same or reversed you probably have located the bad cat. I would be curious to know what the code(s) are, assuming the check engine light is on.

Check the sensor that is attached to the transmission. The other possibility is that the motor inside of the speedometer is broken. That happened to me on my 93 Wrangler. Went to the junkyard and got another instrument cluster.
