Every automatic F-body I have driven has done the same thing, always happens under WOT and at the first to second shift. Dont know the exact cause though. Ron

You have a belt that is going or a tensioner that is too weak.

Most likely changing the belt will fix it, or the ghetto repair is to use belt dressing.

If belt dressing doesn't make it go away then it is definitely time for a new belt.
