Check for vacuum leaks and check the idle air control valve.

No leakage on the vacuum and the iAC. I just changed the automatic transmission oil from sea horse oil that has the quality of dexron 3 to mobil atf. Can it cause the vibration. When the gear is changing from 1 to 2 gear, it does so with force. Pls advise me

It shouldn't have caused the problem as long as it met the manufacturer's ATF requirements.
