Question car shudder/bucking under load

I have a 1995 dodge stealth tt awd, with 66000 miles has a
intense shudder under heavy throttle in 1st and 2nd gear, only.
happens as load/rmp increase, light throttle no issue. Just did the
60000 mile tune up, plugs wires fuel filter timing belt, adjuster and
idlers, this problem existed before this, it developed while the car
sat for several months. a witness noticed that the rear wheels were
hopping during this exceleration in 1st and 2nd gear, any suggestions
to help? The tranny was replaced at about 57000 miles, this was
before I got the car. Thanks

where are you located if you don't mind my asking? Does it feel like a drivetrain shutter, a shutter in the engine bay? Could be the transfercase, output shaft, driveshaft/carrier bearings, wheel bearings... could really be any number of things...

Default still searching for answer

I have checked all u-joints wheel bearing tire balance drive shaft balance
motor mounts good, carrior bearing all good, rode in it a week ago and
no symptoms, cant figure this out, as stated before in would shake the
whole care under high torque/rpm in 1st or 2nd gear, its a 6 speed, if you
back out of it the shakes go away, but no issues with last ride, did not do
a real hard launch though but ran her thru the rpm range from a rolling start hard, I also changed the fuel and filter.....?????? dosnt seem motor
related car dosnt pull at all, must be drive train, not sure about transfer case or tranny(quite new) its going to sit for a couple of winter months
now because Im from Michigan, infact blizzard today not good for a turbo
stealth even all wheel drive Ha Ha Ha, thanks
