'92 Jetta, 140K miles, rattles under acceleration in 1st and 2nd. Coming from area of katalitic or heat shields in that area. Any ideas?

Yep. It's the cat or the shields :-)
Seriously though...that's what it probably is. The shields need tightening and/or the cat is busted up inside and rattling.

You didn't mention if you have had any exhaust repairs. If OEM parts are not used the exhaust systems will make noises or bump different places. The other thing may be the struts on the front may be weak. I've seen that several times. One other thing may be the front motor mount or the transmission mount has leaked or weaked. I hope this helps. Enjoy
