So my trans started flaring pretty bad... got told it was the trans that was stuffed so i replaced it with a reconed trans... put that in today and its still flaring pretty bad.. what else could it be ? any ideas ? cause its clearly not the trans its a brand new re built one. any help would be appreciated! ?

Cheers!

Low oil pressure. Is the oil topped up to full?

also did you get a new torque converter?
when I rebuilt my auto the guy in the states that I purchased the parts from said to never use a 2nd hand converter on a new box as it wil have crap in it from the old box
anyway if you used your old converter it may have issues with the turbines and it is flaring not the box
