whats the easiest fix?
...find out what the codes mean and do it yourself. You can't get around the cat, you'll have to either replace that or not. You can do the EGR yourself if you buy a Helms manual and the tranny can be found on ebay or a junkyard remanufactured or slightly used for way under $1k. I got mine with 33k miles for $700 shipped and its been performing very well for the past 45k miles.
