I think it was on a Toyota but there was a YouTube on dealing with a slight vibration at a particular speed. There was a kit that replaced the roller bearing with a bushing where the axle goes into the transmission. It took a good shop with sensors to figure it out.

Lifted (possibly non lifted also) 4wd Tacomaās can have that issue with the left front (IIRC) axle with the front diff needle bearing, replace the needle bearing with the updated bushing and vibration is goneā¦
Update: Got the CVT and gear checked and working fine.
Mechanic told me to drive it and ignore the vibration as its only minor and will be difficult to pinpoint the source.
Found exactly the same issue to be causing vibration. Axle and transmission joint showing excessive play.
Sadly, Altima do not have needle bearing that can be replaced from outside.
Anyone has any ideas about fixing it? (I hope it will not need changing whole transmission)
Could be a bad tire.

According to my basic level understanding, issues with tires are usually speed dependent not rpm dependent. Or am I wrong?

It vibrates @1500 rpm in park? Or while driving?
No vibration in park or N; however, in D it shows some rough patch at around 1500 rpm while stationary and vibrates while moving. Another important point is that it does that during acceleration only. If i take my foot off gas pedal, it wont vibrate even if the RPM is in that range.
You probably should have just replaced all of the mounts as noted above.
The descriptions are confusing/shifting. If itās just RPMs then think mounts. If itās only on acceleration, then think inner CV joints. If the vibration isnāt terrible, then itās not something youād necessarily be able to detect by joint play with the car stationary.

Are you saying the transmission is in drive, you got your foot on the brake, and you bring the RPMās up to 1500?

Yes thatās right.
That poor CVT.

Then thatās a very costly thing to fix. Btw I did use instant shudder removal but to no effect.
