Mine did this, but only under hard accel (not full throttle) from 2-3, I had
a shift kit too, and just a week or so ago, I had the tranny rebuilt, the
"steels" and clutches were burned quite bad... they had black spots on the
steels from the heat... you may wanna have this looked at... quick too :)
You may wanna have a shift kit installed as well... this will firm up the
shifts, reducing heat from the soft shifts...
Just my experience.. and $.02
