Shudder during acceleration

In the last 7 weeks: transmission rebuilt, plugs & boots changed, new mass air flow - shudders when accelerating or staying constant speed going up incline - both in cruise and out - have seen posts about torque converters, fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump, ignition coils, throttle sensor, vaccum leaks, alternators/batteries going bad, coolant leaking and blowing back on plugs -- currently no new check engine light - should I take it back to tranny shop to have them double check there?

SOURCE: engine light won't go off.

have the EGR valve tested because this will cause the engine light to come on and also check all vacuum lines

SOURCE: check engine light

It might but what exactly are the codes. Before you change the Mass air flow sensor, try cleaning it first with a can of mass flow cleaner.
If your running a oil K&N filter, there could be some oil residue on the sensor. Start with that and change the filter or clean it if it's a K&N.
The O2 sensor's could be bad also, you really need the code's to be sure what sensor is giving you the faulty signal.
Good luck and hope this helps.

SOURCE: runs rough when cruising at 35-40 mph

try pulling off the air breather hose and look inside at the mass air flow sensor,it looks like a wire with a diode hooked to it incase you didnt know,see if there is any fuzz on it,sometimes the air filter will lose small pieces and the mass air flow sensor catches it.If that doesnt work then you may have a fuel problem,weak pressure,causing the mass air flow sensor to read too much air so it tricks the computer to adjust the issue.

I have a 95 chevy venture that when accelerating from a stop shakes really bad but stops after u pass 10 mph

I believe the shake is coming from your transmission. Please look at the fluid level and color. Also take a look at its maintenance history. When was the last time the fluid and filter was replaced? The torque converter clutch, low transmission fluid pressure, and engine issues will cause shudder (Clogged air and fuel filter, poor fuel pressure, fouled spark plugs, timing or restricted exhaust flow). Please let me know if this helps and if there is anything else. Good Luck.

Automatic shudders on some gear changes.

This car has both options of auto transmission plus manual gear **** so the only reason it can shudder when the clutch is not fully released and thus takes some time, that's when it shudders, but on accelerating this will not happen cos the centripetal clutch has enough torque such that the clutch is pressed hard to the cam & therefore no shuddering. On cruising speed the probability of clutch slipping making the car shudder. Thus changing the clutch assembly ought eliminate this problem....sodeep

2001 Towncar Shudders while accelerating

Yes, it's a torque convertor shudder. Flush your transmission fluid and add an additive to help shudder (shudder fix, etc). That fixes most of the vehicle, the others will need a convertor. Try to keep transmission serviced around every 30k will help this concern.

Maybe a defective plug or plug wire/coil, also Mass Air Flow Meter or TPS can cause this, need to have more detailed info to pin it down.

Transmission shudder

I had a similar problem on my 93 Accord after I accidentally threw the car in reverse at 50 mph, obviously wrecking the transmission. When I got it rebuilt I was told the transmission pump was to blame (clogged with "shrapnel"). I, and your car manual, recommend taking the car in to get the tranny looked at. Especially considering you just had the fluid changed which is what would normally cause the problems you are describing.
