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?
