Default 2001 Galant Shudder

I have a 2001 Galant,I recently had the 02 Sensor replaced and a tune-up still having same problem,it shudders between 45-50mph,only does it at certain times,I read a TSB and it said that this could happen with the A/T fluid breaks down causing a torque converter damper shudder,I contacted Express Oil Change and they said it was the torque converter,how can you tell which it is?

My car shudders around 70mph if I let go of the accelerator
the car wont shudder.. but even though when my car is parked
and neutral the engine vibrates and but if I shift into
reverse or Overdrive the car stops vibrating..
Idk what too do

my galant shudders when idling too, more noticeably when in D or when the ac is on. When i flushed my A/T today I noticed it had an effect on the shudder. I can't say which way, but it was different.
