There is a recently released tech bulletin that deals with hesitation and engine flare on gear change. The tech bulletin is Ltb00448v5 (v5 for version 5). It involves a software update to the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) and is for Defenders in chassis # range ca423911 to da431347. I've just had it done and it seems to have made smooth gear changing easier at lower speeds,so it's worth having it done for that reason. It has probably reduced the "flare" a bit but has not eliminated it, so for me the solution there is to short the wires on the clutch mater cylinder switch as discussed in other threads on this issue.
