It sounds like for some reason the PCM is boosting the line pressure. Do you have a shift kit? If you have a laptop or know someone who does with a OBDI cable and Freescan hook it up and see if it shows any codes. The most common is 1870( converter lockup problem.) Do you have a stall and does the car lockup? Like I said it sounds like the PCM is boosting line pressure for some reason. Good luck.

If it is stock they I would have to say yes you have a tranny problem. You need to get it checked before if fries the tranny. I twisted a Tranny output shaft for the same reason. My tranny shifted so hard that the whole car vibrated and jerked my neck. Hense busted trans. A stock rebuild will cost you over 1000 dollars if you dont break anything before hand. So get if checked out before it breaks and costs you alot of money.
