Yes, actually that's what mine was doing. It would only flare when accelerating hard. Driving gently, it was fine. Only occurred from 3 -> 4.

My spring came from transmissionpartsusa.com. It is supposed to fix this condition.

I thought about the magnet, but my local dealer would have to order it and it was $30. I need to get this car back on the road. Besides, it has survived 180,000 miles just fine without a magnet.

I'm optimistic that my issue will be fixed.
