Default Bad differential?

I noticed lately that sometimes I'm getting a shuddering from the car when I accelerate coming out of sharp right turns. Is this a sign of an issue with my rear?

Oh, and it's a 2001 z/28 with stock suspension/drivetrain.

Sounds like it could be your transmission. What color is your trans fluid? How is the level? When was it changed last?

Fluid was changed several months back. Levels look good. Color....I dunno because I'm colorblind.

I'm not a car expert, by any means, but why do you think it's tranny-related? The car drives fine 98% of the time. It's only when I accelerate during sharp right turns, like when I'm pulling out of a parking lot and giving it about 30% throttle. The shuddering feels like its coming from the rear of the car, but it's hard to say with any real certainty.
