Saw the post about "Shift Flare When Cold". I have exactly the opposite - 2 to 3 shift flare when hot. 2003 Nissan Sentra SE-R with automatic - my "new" work car, with 186K miles. My younger son drove this car through 6 years of college (2 degrees, BTW), and now I will use it to commute with, keeping miles off my Jeep and getting better gas mileage too. It started having this shift flare issue about 4 years ago. When the car is cold, it shifts fine, but once it warms up, the flare occurs. All other shifts are normal / fine. I have learned to minimize its "feel" by careful use of the accelerator pedal. I saw some online articles about a "drop resistor" in the TPS wiring to the transmission, but I need to explore this more. It seems to occur in lots of Nissan cars and trucks. Anyone else have this issue?
