My 98 subaru impreza outback sport is doing a lot of vibrating taking off in first gear? It doesn't do it in all the gears usually just in first and a little in second what could this be?

it doesnt shake in any other gear except first and sometimes second depending on the rpms

Do you think it's the motor running badly or something else causing shaking?

I dont think it is the engine.I just filled and checked all the fluids. It sounds like right between the drivers seat and passenger seat on the center console vibrate and kind of knock underneath and it only happens when I am at a slow rpm

Could be drive shaft related. Joint problem.

Maybe can be duplicated on ramps. Visual as to shake but not visual as to cause directly. Only inferred cause visual.
