My guess, U-joints or carrier barring. If it is U-joints, and they fail while driving, a simple repair job could become a major repair bill.

Have you done a trans service yet along with changing the filter? Mine did the exact same thing @ 68k miles from the first owner never changing the ATF let alone the other neglegent things hes done to my truck... but besides that I did a trans service immediately and also used some Lucas Stop Slip additive which really helped my tranny hold up with no growls now @ 171k.
