Hey there used to work for Chrysler. Just a thought did you try hooking it up to the DRB and checking out the trany that way. Have seen it once or twice were it was internal after trying all the things that you have done.

May be a clunk from slack in the CV shafts too.

good thought but its definatly a tranny issue. it acts like the filter fell off and its starving for fluid for a split second...know what im getting at?!?!. i'm leaning towards a stuck check valve type problem. because it only does it if it has been sitting for a few hours or so

Sounds like you may be on to something. Maybe a sticking accumulator valve since that is what cushions high pressures.
