HOW can I transfer shear force from a wall at second floor to a non colinear wall at first floor? some walls at first floor are more than 4 feet off the shear walls above.
Also if I used simpson strong wall at first floor garage wall,what R value will be used for the other shear walls at the same direction?

I should think from Table 1617.6 1.K. for wood shearwalls.
