another rare possibility is bent blades in the impeller of the torque converter, i doubt it though.

This is light throttle; it's even worse under heavy acceleration. I think I'll be going to the dealership tomorrow.
Edit: I bought my car in PA. Can anyone recommend a service department in Long Island?
