4r100 shift flare

Anyone else have the so called shift flare in your trans going from 2 to 3rd? I have read some articles that there are some remidies to this. I seem to have this problem and its worse when i'm loaded. Feels like the trans is going out, but the more i read the more i find it to be a common problem. I really need some good info on this. Vacation season is right around the corner and i can't afford to replace my trans or to have it go out on a trip. Thanks guys.

I had the same problem when I put the dp chip in. I put a John Woods valve body in, and it took care of my problem.

The definition that i read was when the trans hits say 3rd gear in my case and the RPMS would rise up and then drop back down real quick. Its almost like its slipping. I had never heard of it until i searched on google for help.
