converter shudder?

well ever sense replacing my broken tailshaft after it went pop at over 130

i get a vibrating-shudder out of the tranny when i let on and off the gas at 65-80mph and if i very lightly press the gas its a constant shudder. it only happens at those speeds. car is a 98z28 and i installed a ta relo crossmember along with the new tailshaft. any input is appreciated

see if it make a diffrents if it is OD or drive. This may tell you if the lock up clutch is fried. But I would bet you have something broken or bent in the convertor.
