Does it have overdrive ?

Can the problem be reproduced on a lift ?  If so, try disconnecting the
driveshaft to divide the problem between transmission and differential.

Then most likely whichever unit has the problem is going to need to come
apart.

One other long shot : try cracking a bleed valve on a rear brake cylinder
and see if the problem disappears until the next time you step on the brake
pedal.  Doesn't really fit the symptoms, but you might have a bad flexible
line that acts like a check valve and holds pressure in the rear brakes.
