6 months a go at 90,000 miles I had an issue where it felt as though I was driving over
a rough roads at sometimes when I would accelerate. I had this in at a non gm
service facility and they said there was a shudder in the torque converter. They
recommended a transmission fluid change in which they dropped the pan and drained
the fluid and then put new fluid in. They said this may remedy the problem. It
improved the problem but I still get vibration after driving and I coast, I then am on
the gas pedal very lightly it gets a growl/vibration noise. I can feel this in the floor and
the steering column. There are also times but not every time when it goes into this
state that it feels like something will catch and the vehicle will lurch. The problem
being described can be felt in town 10mph and up through 65 mph on the highway,
it also happens with the cruise engaged, it has 97000 miles on it now and have been at
the GM dealer. I have taken the technician for a ride and he feels what I am talking
about but can't pinpoint what it is. I have tried to pay attention to this in other vehicles and
the difference is that in mine the feeling is not smooth, rather like it is very pronounced. I have gm power train warranty and an extended warranty that I would like this taken care of before the warranty is up. Any help would be great. Thanks

It may be the clutch in torque converter or a u joint in driveshaft. Have them re look at those components. Also try switching tires from front to back see if that makes a difference
