Default 98 Ram-Transmission Shudder

Hey guys, my truck has started to develop a shudder in the transmission at slower speeds (like 15-40mph) and then disappears as speed increases. The shudder/hop only happens with Overdrive ON, and is gone when I turn it off. My mechanic thinks the torque converter is going bad on me, just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and has any thoughts!?

Truck is a 1998 Ram 1500 4x4 (175,000km/110,000 miles)

Thanks.

Has anyone else had this issue with their truck? Also, has anyone used lubeguard and yielded positive results?
