"Flaring" is a false neutral between shifts. Instead of shifting 2-3, the transmission goes 2-neutral-3. The time in neutral is variable depending on the transmission. Sometimes it is a fraction of a second.............sometimes it's one second...........sometimes it's unlimited until the driver lifts his foot and "assists" the shift.

2-3 is the most common flare. Sometimes it also flares on 3-4 if the transmission is in bad shape.
