only in 1st or WOT at all? Maybe you are low on oil? I would definitely start with a mechanical gauge. Check your oil level too. I am not sure where the pickup is, but if you are low and slinging it all towards the rear, you could starve the pump.

The only thing I can think of gear related would be the acceleration and slinging your oil back, but I would think that would continuously occur. Maybe in your situation you are on the brink of low oil.
