More than likely it is your engine mounts. If you have cracked or deteriorated mounts, the engine will vibrate with the symptoms you have posted.

190,000+ miles. Engine shakes while running and driving. Seems to shake less while revving and accelerating. I replaced the spark plugs. Any suggestions?

Check your engine mounts. It's an easy check. With the hood up, have a friend jump in the car and crank the engine. Look for the engine to "shake" or "jump" when he shifts the vehicle from park to reverse and back to park again.

2002 jeep grand cherokee wont reverse when in gear. hear it get into gear but wont move...

first check fluid is full by starting the engine have it blocked put in in nutral( to fill the bell houseing ) then check fluid level, more than likely you need to add fluid exspecally if your checking it in park with engine on or off park gives you a false reading on the dip stick

Problem is that it goes slow on reverse

Are you refer to put it in reverse then you have to rev the engine to get it to move?

It's a good chance that you have a leak and the transmission is low on fluid,check the fluid with the engine warm and running in park or nutral,if its low. Add the correct type of fluid through the trans dip stick tube.. .a little bit at a time until the level is in the normal range. If this does not solve the issue, the pump in the transmission may be going out.

Keep us updated.
