After getting the aftermarket CV axles replaced multiple times under warranty, and the front wheel bearings changed, and the transmission drained/filled, a small vibration persists during hard acceleration, especially from 0 to 45mph.
I have confirmed the front rims are not bent through multiple mechanics and tire shops.
Right now the consensus from multiple shops is that the remaining shudder/vibration has nothing to do with the CV axles. Multiple shops think it is the transmission, namely, the torque converter. They all think it's a TC shudder. Not a mechanical issue with the front end, not a bent rim issue, not a CV axle issue, not a loose suspension component issue, not a wheel bearing issue, etc.
The last shop I took it to told me that the shudder was so minor that they didn't even want to do anything to it. They didn't even push for a pan drop and filter change. They just told me to keep driving until the problem becomes more serious, and in their words, more readily diagnosable.
My questions are:
What should/could I do about the TC shudder? I just added a tube of Dr. Tranny/LubeGard instant shudder fix, which doesn't seem to have had any effect. Should I just leave it alone and keep driving until it actually becomes a violent shudder? The trans has 140k miles on it, and it's just received its first drain/fill in the last 1000 miles.
