Hi Angel,

The vibration is most probably from bad U-joints of the propeller shaft. Check them for stiffness or wear.

As to the engine straining before upshifting, you have misfiring codes which should be any of the following:
P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304 or P1399.

When misfiring occurs and engine lacks power, the engine computer delays the upshifting.

Misfiring are usually due to bad spark plugs or related parts and/or insufficient fuel which could be due to clogged fuel filter, low fuel pressure. Get them checked.
