You know what ive noticed? Its still the norm, where I can be on a flat road and with light throttle and shifting at 2500rpms, it'll flare 100-200rpms going from 3rd to 4th. WHEN trans and ATF is hot. been like this for over a year now.
But now I found out (and I didnt know this) it doesnt matter what speed im going at when shifting into 4th or if im going up a hill, itll flare each time if I let it shift between 2000 and 3000rpms.
I can be going up a hill or slight hill in 3rd in D and i apply more gas but if i let it shift between 2000 and 3000rpms it will still flare and flare bit worse like 400rpms. Im guessing the extra flare has to do with the extra throttle and line pressure in the trans?
I have accustomed my driving so that if Im in drive in 3rd and shifting to 4th, I throttle it so that I shift over 3000rpms and no flare.
I guess this is why the other day i happened to be in D in 3rd and didnt realize I was about to shift to 4th at about 2800rpms, and as I was watching the tach, got like a 400rpm flare. I was like HOLY ****!!!! Was really worried about the extra flare (400 vs 150-200). Im guessing its from the extra throttle? I thoght it was only on flat roads but guess not.
