Ok, you thing it's trans related.
But my GU, and several others I know, have developed the same symptoms.

Ease off from a standing start, gentle on the throttle, somewhere between first and second there's a soft clunk.... You can feel it as much as hear it.

When slowing down gently, it's there ...

Not saying that it is the fuel pump. but I would expect that if the pump was sus, it would starve the engine for fuel at high loads - high revs/high load.
