Default 1997 automatic....oscillation in overdrive?? 134k

Not sure if I should call it an oscillation or a shudder or vibration. So I just completed a 2775 mile trip which was wonderful But, I noticed a drive train shudder or vibration when I was going down the interstate running between 75 to 80. It comes on, then subsides, then about that time repeats the same cycle over and over. I would bump the cruise off and slip it out of gear, and I believe it is still there. It was less. I do have some of the history of maintenance on the car. but nothing that says there has been any work on the drive shaft or u-joints. It is not rpm related. If I find a really smooth road, it can happen starting around 60mph. If the road has any bumps at all, it is very hard to notice. Any help is appreciated!

I'd try getting the tires rebalanced.
