transmission take a long time to go to second gear than it kicks hard and the other gears go down and up all crazy could someone help with any suggestions. :-huh

Fix the speedometer and then the trans will be fine. Most likely it's the speed sensor on top of the differential on the rear axle.

Thank you will do that and I hope that will do the trick. I will let you know
how it went.Thank you for your help Once again.

Mark you hit it right on it was the speed sensor now it's working just fine.
Thank you for your help.
