Default 2nd to 3rd RPM flare

I recently had my C5 A4 rebuild and on the 2nd to 3rd shift at WOT the RPM's flare up and then grab. Also it shifts hard into overdrive and grabs a little when it comes out of lock up in 4th. Any ideas you trans pros?

Every 2-3 flare I've seen was caused by too much clutch clearance.
I feel like I say this once a week at least.
i'm not a trans pro though, they seem to get tired of answering the same questions over and over.

Because the 3-4 clutch is slipping on the 2-3 shift. Burns up third, no more fourth.

3rd works great, just slipped in 4th under any acceleration.
i know better to run a A4.
6 spd or a th350/400 is about the best bet, IMO.
