You bought a used car 2 weeks ago and you got a 3 month warranty on engine and gearbox and now the catalytic converter is gone do you have any comeback with the garage?

Yes!!!, The catalytic converter (CC) should not have anything wrong with it if the engine was tuned correctly. If the engine was running rich, because the computer was compensating for a sensor that is giving incorrect readings then the CC would clog with the carbon produced by running too rich. This is the most common cause of CC failure.

If it is brand new - no. But - things do go wrong for whatever reason. New car should have a warranty.
What automatic gearbox will fit in a classic vw beetle?
The "automatic gearbox" Volkswagen used to put in Beetles is an "autostick" transmission. It has a three-speed manual transmission connected to a vacuum-operated clutch and a torque converter. There's no clutch pedal but you still have to shift it.

Check gearbox fluid level. If OK, either torque converter, gearbox pump/filter, or differential.
Can a Skyline GTR have a clutch and be automatic?
No. For a start, the Skyline GTR comes with a manual gearbox - 5 speed in the case of the R32 and R33, and 6 speed in the R34. The reason the answer is no is that with a manual gearbox the engine (essentially the crankshaft) is connected to the gearbox via the clutch, where the clutch is (for the sake of argument) two plates that rub together becoming fully locked when the pedal is all the way out and not touching each other/totally separated when the pedal is all the way in. With an automatic gearbox - that is, a true automatic gearbox - the engine is connected to the gearbox by a torque converter INSTEAD OF a clutch. The torque converter is basically a vat of viscous fluid connected to the gearbox with a fan/propeller like implements inside it - engine spins and transfers rotational motion to the gearbox by the propeller spinning in the fluid. (this explanation has been somewhat simplified here). Now, where things get a bit weird is where manufacturers start talking about "semi auto/tiptronic" boxes or "sequential manual" boxes. Without going into two much detail, there are broadly two types. Semi autos are often just automatic gearboxes with a manual override (still a torque converter but you can put the box into manual mode where you select the gear). These are generally very smooth like true auto boxes. Sequential manuals are a manual gearbox with two solenoids to control shifting and one to control clutch (they are a real manual gearbox, so do have a clutch). Many of these have an automatic mode, but are not as smooth as auto boxes when in that auto mode. Neither of these types of boxes generally have a "clutch pedal" - the auto box based one doesn't have a clutch and with the manual box based one, the gearbox automatically disengages the clutch when you come to a stop to prevent stalling. The Skyline has neither of these (only a true manual gearbox with a stick and a clutch pedal). Hope that helps.

How do you go about removing the automatic gearbox from a 1990 Nissan 300 zx twin turbo?
This is not a job for the faint hearted and it is recommended to use a car lift. Firstly, disconnect the battery and drain the oil from the automatic gearbox. Inside car, remove the radio console and then the centre console to obtain access to the gearlever mechanism, which has to be disconnected.Mark the propshaft in relation to the diff flange prior to removal and ensure it goes back in the same position (it will vibrate like hell if it is not). remove exhausts downpipes and centre sections (may have catalystic converter fitted so sensors will need to be removed from them as well). Remove starter. Remove lower engine plate (bolts onto gearbox bell housing).remove bolts holding the torque converter to the starter ring plate. Disconnect wiring looms and speed sensor connections from box. Remove lower gearbox to engine fixing bolts. You are now ready to remove the bolts from the cross member that retains the box to the underside. Support the gearbox and remove these bolts. Gently lower the box to gain access to the bolts at the top of the gearbox bellhousing. One of them has an earth wire attached. Ensure that this is reconnected when refitting. You are now ready to remove the gearbox and the torque converter together, which will still be full of oil, so will be messy when seperated.
How do you get to a 95 subaru legacy torque converter to remove it?
There is a plastic plug that you can remove from the top of the bell housing/gearbox, if its turbo its under the top mount intercooler. You will have to turn the main pully to rotate the torpue converter, there are 4 bolts you'll have to undo. The bolts are hard to remove,you have to crack them cause they are lock-tighted in there.
