I mean, when im in first gear and i give it gas the rpms go up but the car doesnt move forward. i have to rev it up to about 7000rpms and then it will kinda surge forward but it doesnt give much power till i shift into 2nd.

my car has a similar shaking problem. When I am driving it will shake until i hit the higher rpms (3500 or so) and then it will drive smoothly.
