Sounds like a bad roller clutch (one way clutch) in the 3,4 shift gearset. It is a transaxle with 2 half shafts. Take it to the shop.
Hope this helps.

Sounds like a torque converter flutter. Do you hear it wining when you take off. If you do then get ready to replace you transmission because if the torque converter doesn't shell first the pump will go out.
