Auto or Manual?
I get that with my auto. The tranny has a delay built in when switching between Reverse and Drive. If you get on the gas to soon, the car will rev up a bit before the tranny actually gets into gear. If you are going from Reverse into Drive you will take off with tire spin. If you are going from Drive to Reverse, you will get some violent shaking. I think its just wheel hop (at least thats what it sounds like).
