Toyota Corolla Shakes Problem

Car shakes badly when shifting from 1st to 2nd. Otherwise fine, no over heating or liquids leaking. Will be in neutral at a stop light, shift to first, car shakes badly, then shift to second and car is fine. Shifts fine all other times.

Check the spark plugs and wires. Problem could be due to misfiring under load.
