Update:

I drove it outside of rush-hour traffic today to gather more info...

If the throttle condition was maintained during the oscillation, it wildly increased in amplitude until my concerns for the components forced backing-off.

It's not a "vibration" -- that's too fast. Picture a ceiling fan out of balance -- or a sine-wave oscillation.

I'm trying to learn to self-maintain vehicles as best as possible, and as safe as possible. Something is clearly amiss when the drivetrain accepts torque at the lowest RPM allowed by the ECU/TCU.

Thanks in advance for any clues!
