Default weird trans vibration when coming to a stop

ever since I lowered my car and swapped the shorter dogbone in with poly bushings on both sides...my trans makes a weird vibration throughout the entire car while coming to a stop. it starts when I hit about 27 MPH and always gets worse then goes away exactly as I hit 15 MPH and the trans downshifts, if i leave the shifter in "3" it doesn't happen...any thoughts?

I was going to say that as well but I noticed in your sig that you have a superchips tune so I would assume you have DOD turned off, correct?

This started right after I put the new dogbone in. was lowered for about a month before this and didn't feel it.

I see a common theme here...but the DOD thing would make sense too, I'm going to swap back to the OE dogbone and see if it goes away

A tech I work with said it might be the torque convertor.

Mine has been doing it a lot lately (last month or so). It gets bad enough to make my dash rattle until I go slow enough for it to stop.
