About two months ago, I purchased a 1991 Subaru Legacy non-turbo with automatic transmission and 156k miles on it. Everything so far has been pretty normal except about after owning it for a month, I did notice that when I am driving at low speeds while turning either direction, the car shudders/shakes/vibrates. Just an all around concerning noise/feel. You cannot feel any of the shaking within steering wheel. It feels like it’s between the driver and passenger seat. I flushed the power steering fluid hoping it might fix it (worked for someone in another forum I read) and the problem has not ceased. I put a fuse in the FWD fusebox, but it did not fix the problem either. The FWD light did come on my dash though. I also have not gotten the A/T temp light 16 times so I’m guessing the duty C solenoid is alright. From what I’ve read so far, seems like I may need a new clutch pack in the transmission? I’m still learning a lot and would really appreciate any help/advice anyone can offer.
If I do need a new clutch pack, how intensive of a job is that? How expensive roughly? Would it just be worth it to take to a shop to have it fixed there? I just want my baby to run without sounding terrible while turning, lol.

The tires are all the same.
I haven’t yet flushed the transmission fluid. That would be amazing if that fixed the problem. I think I’ll do that this weekend and see if it helps.
I will read up more on torque bind and how to read codes for the TCU.
Thank you!
