If you can, send me your TPS and I'll test it out for you. If that is going bad it can really confuse the TCU. The flare thing is not good. I think it really wears down the clutches. Try pulling out the dropping resistor and see if it helps. Can you manual shift and not get the flair? Try backing off the throttle when you shift manually. Drop the pan clean the magnet, replace the screen.
