Does it happen everytime it goes into OD? And does it continue to do it all the time in OD? How is your fluid level? Has it been change lately? Does it smell bad...like it is burned? Warranty? Got one? You may have to use it if you do.

It's probably torque converter clutch chatter. This happens when the torque converter locks up. Have the tranny fluid power flushed.
