Question HOW DO YOU DIAGNOSE AN ENGINE MISS

I have a 1996 4x4 3500 dually with 62000 miles. Ever since it was new it had a slight shudder when the trans shifted into lockup. The problem was blamed on the trans. The engine has been upgraded to a Dr Perf Phase III setup.Performs great with lots of power. I desided to rebuild the trans to handle the extra power of the engine.Install a Suncoast conv & transgo shift kit etc. Thought this would kill 2 birds with 1 check. Cure the shudder and fix the trans. Trany works great but still have the shudder. The trans shop says the problem is a miss in the engine. How do you diagnose this type of problem? Has anyone else had this type of problem. Any help would be appreciated. Sam
