Maybe you guys have some thoughts on this.

the car some times shakes when I have it running on park or sometimes at stop lights and accelerating under 50km. over 60 the problem goes away.

the belt and tensioner are new.

Less coffee? LOL j/k :P

Sounds like a broken or worn motor or tranny mount, perhaps?

i had a similar problem, it was when accelerating around 40-50km and when i reached around 90km and up it came back. i just might be a bad engine mount or in my case the engine mount bolt came loose.

to check your gonna have to really get under there and remove some of the plastic cover, on a hoist you can see it alot better.
does it start to shake at high speeds also

there is also another scenario it could be a miss fire or in my case the spark plug was sending a spark to my engine block. i could see a white powder on the engine block beside the spark plug. so also check for a smell of gasoline to see if you have a miss fire. and also take a look at your serpentine belt and see if it needs replacing. the belt actualy might be slipping causing a delay or pre ignition
hopes this helps.

oh and to also check for a loose engine bolt/mount, with the hood open and with a friend(or just look through the small openiong through window, go through park-reverse-drive... etc and see if the engine hopes or shakes. it a good sign there a problem there.
