It could be a leaky gasket on the Ks assembly, has the fluid ever been changed in the box

usually associated with mileage and
transmission seals. How far has yours done, and has the tranny ever been refurbed or serviced.
Mine can do it a bit when it's cold and the idle revs are high, at about 1100 on rich mixture. It's fine when warmed up and idling at about 950 in P or N though.
Extra good clamp on the footbrake when shifting is a good idea.
