Does the 2-3 flare happen sometimes or all the time?
Last night pulling out from a traffic light I gave the SVX some gas. It seemed like when shifting from 2-3 the RPMs went up to about 5000 or so and then it shifted. Maybe it hopped back into first, I don't know. But that scared me so I tried accelerating hard around the 2-3 shift but I couldn't get it to happen again. When the tranny starts to go and the 2-3 shift flare pops up, does it happen all the time or once every now and then until it is more frequent and then the tranny dies? I just changed my tranny oil and now this is happening?!

Just a hunch
But I'm going to suggest you popped back into 1st. If you've never noticed a 2/3 flare before, it seems more likely with the hard acceleration from start you instigated a downshift to 1st. Others with more knowledge may disagree.

Well, I've been trying to accelerate hard to see if it will do it again and it seems like it will if I push the accelerator down while it's doing it's shift. I'm not about to slam the accelerator down all the way or anything, just if I give it extra gas during the shift it goes up a lot. But say I am accelerating quick and I hold the gas pedal where it is; it shifts more normal. Which I guess makes sense anyway. Oh well, at least I have a warranty.. I hope

When my tranny died it did one or 2 flares then was fine, then the next day it slipped more and more and it hung around for about 2 weeks slipping before it finally gave up. My wifes tranny took a dirt nap in a matter of hours with little warning.

Sorry to hear about your tranny problems...it's scary when you don't know what's going on!
My tranny doesn't really flare as much as it takes its time shifting 2-3 or 3-4. My first things I'm going to check are the TPS (probably dirty) and TCU (anyone got spares?...I keep asking).

I sent my spare TPS to garrison - try pm'ing him, he may be done using it. I think he was trying to diagnose a tranny flare also.
