Yes, when I'm driving. But when I'm stopped in drive, it doesn't run rough, but everything shakes.

have you tried opening hood and putting hand on engine while in park to see if you can detect any roughness? you could also have someone put car in reverse with brake on and feel engine again. also forgott ask if this occurs while engine is hot or cold or it dont matter.
