Why does my Chevy s-10 shift so quickly through gears?

It seems as if my s-10 2.8l v6 5 speed with a dash board shift indicator light wants me to shift through gears quicker than most other stick shift vehicles ive ever driven.

ur computer probably wont show anything ur tranny problem can be anything fron needing a filter changed to vacuum problem to torque converter check the fluid for level if low fill up- before filling look and smell fluid it should be reddish in color not brownish [fluid burnt]if it smells burnt- need trans service can be just a filter and flush ,bad sensor-actuator or rebuild

4th gear indicator light on dash board flashes, vehicle drive fine. and speedometer works off and on.

shift indicator flashing lamp is an indication that your transmission has issues, due to your speedometer not functioning properly the first guess is that your speed sensor is failing, but that is just a guess. first thing to do is to get your car computer system scanned for failure codes, there should be one for your transmission out put speed sensor, before changing any sensor make sure you test the sensor to verify its failure. get codes and re-post with results if any more help needed

5-speed 97 escort wagon... on the dash, there will be an orange arrow light that pops up in between shifting gears. the arrow points up/forward. what does it want? does it want me to shift into a higher...

Some cars came with this light to help the driver know when to shift to the next gear. IE: 1st, 2nd, 3rd and so on. It will not indicate when to downshift to a lower gear. It's main function was for optimal mileage and proper RPM shifting. Happy driving.
