Default 99 camaro 3.8L problem

I got a 3.8L camaro and when im trying to go from a dead stop into first or reverse the car shakes untill i get moving. Only does it from a complete stop. if im rolling it wont happen. I changed my spark plugs, wires, and coil packs. that helped but didnt eliminate the problem. Anyone got any clue on what it could be?

Is it having idling issues when you come to a complete stop also?

it does not shake when it is idling. It only does it when i start going into first or reverse. i changed spark plugs, wires, and coils and the trany mount. if i go into it slow it wont shake as bad if at all. but any other time it shakes
