With those kinds of miles and since you've been using it to tow, that transmission could very well be ready to fall out on the ground, who knows?
All I'm saying is to be careful in your diagonsis. Those darned things can fool a guy, especially those old Chevy trannys. Something fairly simple up in that engine department can make ya think you have major tranny problems.
Have your mechanic check it out, run his scans like you were planning to do/like the other guys say and if he comes up nil on the tranny codes, have him do a cylinder balance test while he is at it.
That "shudder" and a weak idle just "smells" like a weak hole to me. Could be something as simple as a faulty plug wire or a cracked plug.
Heck, I've seen engines locked up tight, truck hanging on a tow hook, the owner just about in tears and come to find out, the only problem was a $2 bearing at the alternator and the 'ol boy was driving out the door in 20 minutes.
Hope ya get 'er figured out and hope it doesn't skin your wallet,
