Driveline vibration upon initial acceleration

Driveline vibration upon initial acceleration
Team
Recently picked up a 1995 SC300 auto with 205k miles. There is a vibration in the driveline upon accelerating from a standstill up until about 6-7mph. It feels as if it is coming from the torque converter and/or propeller shaft. After getting past 6-7mph, it is buttery smooth in all gears. Transmission shifts perfectly.
Any suggestions? First auto SC I've owned. I plan on dropping the fluid with a few refills next to rid the old fluid.
Thanks ahead of time. I would imagine the same question could be proposed to the GS boys also.

Wow!! I drove my wife's 1995 SC 300 today and it does the EXACT same thing. I was getting ready to post the same question. Thanks for the excellent explanation. I'm watching with great interest to see what replies there are. Thanks!!

I thought about the flex coupler from OLT's thread about clunking noises. But my mechanic insisted it was the U joint and he was right, I saw it on the lift. Your best bet is to go to an transmission place and have them diagnose the problem, but I think you're well qualified to do your own stuff from reading your posts for the past 3 years.

Was looking around the threads and caught yours, I' m also having that problem too thought it was the stock transmission going bad with swap engine. I'll also will let you guys know if this is the case.
