try checking or even replacing some fluids. Tranny and clutch fluid should help. Most people dont realize that its a must after a certain amount of miles. Yours might have never been changed. It can only benefit...give it a try

Free check: put the car up on stands or whatever, and check the engine and tranny mounts. Could be torn.

i've experience something similar when i first got the car, it would happen on the highway in heavy traffic crawling on the highway going less than 5 miles an hour, i don't remember if i was in 1st or second, the problem with me was that i wasn't in the right rpm range so that when traffic sped up and i give it to much throttle the car would begin to jerk violently. Solution: pop the clutch give it some gas and re-engage the clutch again, or increase the throttle slowly and evenly, i've never had that jerking motion happen again.

anyway it kind of sounds like this, i don't know if it's the same problem.

Is your clutch engagement point really low? At what point off of the floor will the car start to creep forward as you let the clutch out in first gear?

Might be that your clutch isn't disengaging properly. No idea why that would only affect low rpm shifts, but it's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Any grinding noises when you shift, or just the shaking?

after i changed the tranmission fluid the car shift way way much better. I think the last owner havent changed his tranny fluid for a while. He took really great care of the car however he probably didnt know when to change the tranny fluid . The shaking seems to gone away, shifting so much smoother than before eventhough the snotchy still there sometimes. hopefully the snotchy will gone after a coupe of tranny fluid change or maybe with the redline MTF. Thanks guys i think i love the car now.
