2001 Wolkswagen Beetle shakes like mad when its on drive and stopped. But stops the shaking as soon as once it starts driving.

When i start the engine and put it on drive the car starts shaking a lot but as soon as I start driving the shaking stops. So every time I stop at a stop sign or stop light my car starts shaking terribly once again. But if I put it on parking or neutral it doesn't shake at all. So it only shakes when its on drive and I'm stopped.

    Sounds like a defective coil pack (very common). Do a scan.

SOURCE: mustang 89 4 cyl 2.3 l engine starts on parking dies out on drive

if the nuetral safety was a problem the car would not start at all, sounds like you have a defective engine wiring harness, this is the most common cause of this i have seen while working for Ford.
