I've also noticed that if Ichangegear(1st ->2nd) at slower
speeds < 10 km/h it changes ok....only when at speeds approaching
20 km/h does it gethard....

That indicates to me that you need to adjust your clutch cable.
It's cheap (you can do it yourself) and if it doesn't fix it then
you can look elsewhere. It sounds to me like it's not de-clutching
sufficiently.

I would expect the effect of the clutch dragging to be approximately
the same at all speeds.

IME if the clutch is not disengaging properly it's more noticable at higher
revs.

My last work truck was doing the same thing -hard1-2 upshift, worse
at higher speeds and always worse than the downshift - but I couldn't
get the garage to bother with it. After a few months the gears
started howling, and I was nearly a hundred miles from home. After
the tranny was filled the shifting was much more normal.

Ok, handy to know.

Well....Today i made sure the clutch is ok....I made the slipping test
where you put the car into 4th, handbrake on and let out the clutch
with the engine dying as soon as I let it out...so at least it isnt
slipping. Still need to take the car to the mechanic for the oil/cable
check....Also to clarify...the problem I have is changing to 2nd gear
at higher speeds..ex. coasting...(not ideal i know i know

) ...not
revs...actually with the car at high revs the problem seems to be less
(i.e. w/ choke engaged)....Thanks for your guys help

The test for the opposite - a dragging clutch - can be done by engaging

first or second gear with the clutch in and the car stationary, then
shifting out of gear and right back in without releasing the clutch. If the
shift back in gear is effortless, the clutch isn't dragging. If the shifter
resists going right back into gear, the clutch is dragging.

Yeah, what Mike said. (With the engine running of course)

You tested for the wrong clutch problem.
