If it's vibrating, possibly one of the cam solenoids is bad. Time to go to the shop!
Does it make any difference changing the stages?

if changing the stages does not make a difference, it might be time to look at engine mounts too, or it could be in the cylinders that come on at the lowest setting, and are also on at all the higher ones too.
