Trac off light is on shifts hard

hmmm....it would seem as if your trans is having a bit of a hard time shifting so its sort of waiting before it can shift to the next gear (possible the gear system is having a problem shifting due to it sticking to some gears) i'd have to say....a mechanic can take a look to see why its seemingly shifting late at high RPMs to me IMO the trans is just having a hard time shifting with gears wanting to stick together making the whole trans have a hard time shifting

00 Expedition trans shifts late and hard

the first thing would be to check the level and condition of the trans fluid as poor fluid level or aged fluid can cause these symptoms , when was the last time the fluid was changed ? As you have'nt mentioned vehicle i can only give a general opinion , if you post vehicle details i may be able to give a more detailed answer

Service the transmission for the shifting issue. However going from auto to manual is an electrical switch. Car wont shift till car is at high enough rpm level.

This will help.

Thanks.

The vacume hose on the vacume modulater on the trans mission is nt hooked to full engine vacume or the engine isn't making vacume.The governer will make the trans shift to second anyway at redline but it's preety hard on an old car to redline it just to find out/ It's possible that youv'e got the shift detent cable that hooks to the carb set too tight or it's stuck as if it's floored. with the cable disconnected it should shift out al the way real early as long as thirs vacume on the modulater. Gas mileage freaks that drive around slowly unhook th shift cale so the trans shifts into high gear real early. Not much for passing and acceleration but they get a little bit better gas mileage.

It sounds like you have a low fluid problem or perhaps worse. Warm car up & check the fluid level when tranny is hot. Add if necessary but do not overfill! Good luck!

sounds like two problems 1 engine can idle high with vaccum leaks or bad idle air control or maf sensor 2 if trans wont shift in to gear fluid first next would be to tcm or wire connection on trans good luck

if it's a high mileage vehicle it sounds like your going to need a clutch

take your s-10 to a reputable trans' shop NOW!!
you have an internal problem,BUT if you'r lucky,it may just be the "range switch"on the side of the trans(hair dryer needed to heat the "goo"-sealer on the harness plug)

the trans' is in "limp(default)mode,just to keep you moving!!
driving it this way for a month WILL destroy the transmission!!
