When changing the gears from Park to drive mode the vehicle vibrates alot. It only does this when statioanry. When the gear is shifted to reverse it does not vibrate as it does when in drive mode!

Do you have a check engine light?

Does it vibrates in Park? If not you need to have the throttle and governor pressures checked by a transmission specialist-How's the transmission fluid level and condition?

Thank you very much for the response.
It does not vibrate when in park and there is no light on the dash that says check engine. The gear oil was changed a few days ago. ATF sourced from a mercedes dealer.
