Default 1996 Automatic drive shudder/vibration, what is it?

Hello, my father and I test drove a 1996 automatic GT with 22,000 grandma (seriously) miles on it.

There is an inconsistent vibration/shudder when you get into overdrive. This vibration isn't anything like out of balance tires or suspension, it goes in and out really quick, for a second or two each time.

My father and I are moderately knowledgeable about cars and are only idea is that it could be the torque converter. Only because we have a ford f-150 that shudders but a lot worse and we were told it was the torque converter.

What could this be? How much would it cost to fix?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Might wanna try the 4.6 forum, your car isn't a 5.0 so most of us here don't know a ton about it.
