whenever i want to move the car and i am on gear 1 or 2 the engine/front, the whole car wheel surge back and forth (vibration) with a loud noise, but on gear 3/4/5 the shake or wobbles disappear, couldn't figure out what seems to be the problem, if its the transmission(gear system) or the engine seats,

Hi there this clutch shudder is always more noticeable in lower gears as you are slipping the clutch more, it is hot spots on the fly wheel and the pressure place causing the clutch to grab and not engage smoothly, this is a sign of a worn clutch.
