On the input shaft you don't get a second chance, once the splines strip its done....They are pretty fine splines its not like a chain on a transfercase. I would bet the shudder was the converter, If you look at the flexplate side of a slipping converter the paint usually turns brown from the heat.
Also on the new trans I didn't see what pan you have but a new converter with dd pan mine takes about 19 qts. not sure if you were told how to bring a trans to life.. I was taught rear on jack stands, truck in neutral, pan capacity plus about 6 qts for empty converter . Have a couple quarts open and ready... Start the truck and add fluid, you will see back tires start to turn when its coming to life. Then check fluid on the stick (check both sides of the stick they don't always read the same) add as necessary. then run through the gears and reverse a few times without killing it, check fluid again... if all good road test and check fluid when you get back from the road trip.....
