Khaled,

Check your vacuum line connection to the shift modulator.  Runs from 
drivers intake manifold along the bell housing connecting to the 
modulator on the transmission just about under your driver's seat.  If 
disconnected, the transmission will shift very hard into gears.  You say 
no smoke so modulator diaphragm is likely okay.  Last item could be bad 
linkage adjustments from accelerator to controls.  Check the manual for 
proper set-up of control linkage.  Check your transmission fluid levels too.

Regards,
Dick
