Yep, continence is an issue, that's why I have a recumbent seat in my SVX Andy.
I think it's because the car drinks a lot.
IggDawg, you must have missed the point that the flare only happens 2-3 on a
light throttle. Due to the higher line pressure [I presume?] this problem does not show at all under full bore acceleration.
As I have the switch in my JDM car for forcing Power mode, then with Power on the TCU holds on to lower gears longer
no matter whether I am accelerating hard or gently so that when the shift occurs the pump is at higher revs and pressure, and does away with the slippage.
Shift points at WOT would be the same as you say, but what I am doing is raising the 2-3 shift point at normal acceleration levels to avoid a problem.
