If it only does it while accelerating in first, then I don't know what would do this other than some internal transmission problem. Is this AT or MT? I'd try to stick a long screwdriver down onto the top of the tranny with the engine running, the car up on jackstands and the tranny in 1st. See if you can hear anything unusual. Try listening in other gears also.
