I recently purchase a 1998 Toyota Corolla with 80,000 miles. I changed the air filters, oil filters and spark plugs. Since then I have noticed that it can be a bit rough when taking off in the low gears. The car will shudder violently.

If the problem appeared after you did the work make sure you did not cross the spark plug wires and the are on tight.
