Does it vibrate as soon as you put it in gear? Is it worse while accelerating?

Is the car sitting still and it vibrates when you first put it in gear? That sounds like an idling problem. It’s actually somewhat common for Nissans. [Rough Idle in Gear \*[RESOLVED]\* - Nissan Forum | Nissan Forums](https://forums.nicoclub.com/rough-idle-in-gear-t551274.html) Possible issues are the idle air control valve and throttle body. The guy in the thread I linked had an aftermarket alternator and belt tensioner that were at fault.
