Assuming engine performs as expected- your engine and tranny mounts need to be checked for leakage/ collapse. Also check belt condition and tightness as well as damper pulley for integrity.
If ok I would suspect torque converter.

Definitely engine/transmission mounts are the first thing to check if it is happening in idle too.
Open the hood, make SURE it is in Park (and put the parking brake on). Have someone stand BESIDE the car (not in front of it). Hit the gas and let off quickly. Try at 2000 rpm. See if the engine jumps to one side. If so, it's engine mount.
If not start with the transmission mount. My GL was vibrating exactly at 1800rpm, and replacing the transmission mount fixed it completely. Transmission mount looked brand new when I took it out, and I thought I misdiagnosed. As soon as I drove it after the fix, I noticed the huge improvement and vibration has been gone since!
