    Question slight vibration when stopped in traffic

    I just had my balancer replaced about 3-4 weeks ago with a genuine new one as engine was making a rattle anyhow which cost me a bit & this is the 3rd one since 1990 , anyhow ive noticed last few days there is a slight Vibration when Im in drive and my foots on the brake like when your in traffic.

    Sometimes it does it and sometimes not , it's almost like its sort of misfiring but when I put car in N or P it goes away and idles great and no vibratiion & when in D and foots off brake and rolling along & or I acclerate no noises.

    The car goes hard and revs out no problem as I have taken care of the car since my parents bought it in 1990 from the dealer brand new.

    Ive ran a bottle of nulon petrol total system clean as I always do every 3-4months and its sort of helped but not really.

    Also last say 6 to 12 months when car has not been driven can take few seconds to go into Reverse or drive but I expect it casues it cold as doesnt do in summer but mechanic I spoke to said it could be torque converter which he said is like $900 to replace and he doesnt do it but knows of someone.

    with my Balancer being brand new then it couldnt be that could it ?

    any ideas people as if its the balancer I will have to take back to the guy who fixed it few weeks ago.

    could be an oil pressure problem?
    check the pickup that its not clogged or your oil pump.
