Hey guysI have a 2002 Beetle, and I have some questions reguarding the car lately.

#1
-Alright so just today i noticed after turningon the car it started to shake right under myfeet it seemed like. It has never done this before and i am worried that it is something mechanical going on. Ihate to take it in to a mechanic because if something isn't wrong they find something that is and charge you.
-This problem occured after driving for a while, parking, then starting it back up after about 3 hours. And happened every time after that. It only seems to shake when i first start it up or when at a complete stop.
-If you had this happen please let me know how you got rid of it. This is my first car and i would hate to have to take it in and pay a fat bill. I'm not in the position to run into car problems. Especially with37,000 miles on this beauty.

-This car is an automatic, and when i shift it into Reverse back up, come to a complete stop, then switch it into Drive it lags almost and continues to go back when let my foot off the brake. And this happens when i am not on a hill so it doesn't make sense.
-I don't understand why it lags.

Any information would help. :)
