Shakes/Shudders at Low Speeds

A few weeks back I got an '07 TL 58,000 miles. Super cool car but it doesn't seem to like lower speeds. The shudder usually happens in the 20-40mph range. Every once in a while when downshifting the car shudders searching for that lower gear. It also shakes a little when I'm cruising at those speeds.

After some heaving reading on this forum, I'm planning on doing the 3x3 drain & fill with Red Line ATF as well as switching out the 3rd & 4th gear pressure switches. Any other suggestions?

I have an '06 TL auto and I noticed mine started doing that same exact thing. It starts shaking/vibrating around 2000 rmp when accelerating from about 30-40 MPH. I noticed the occasional shake when downshifting too. I would also appreciate some suggestions.

I think it might be motor mounts or the axle.

I'm noticing the shudder is more pronounced at colder temps.
