The same problem do excist with me from the day i picked the car from the dealer a year ago.
It has nothing to do with the RPM,The only way to avoid the shaking is hitting the brake throttle to the end in order to avoid shaking.
I've reported the above to our local dealer and they have just updated the software of the transmission and claim that no Faults.

My mega question to my dear Q7 owners (Specially to those with the 8 G-tronic)....Do you feel any hesitation in changing gear specially from D1 to D4 either upward or downward ?

I feel that the Gearbox is moving (Shaking) from it's place everytime the car changing gears.

Your feedback is highly appreciated.

Every morning, if shift the gear from P to R right after I start engine, the car shakes vigorously.

1. The problem only happens after has been parking there for a few hours, e.g. overnight.

2. The problem oily happens if I shift the gear within 20 seconds after I started engine. If I wait for 30 seconds, I can see the IDLE speed drops from around 1300 RPM to 8RPM, then I won't see the problem when shifting gear from P to R.

I have brought the car to two different dealers, but neither of them could find the root cause of the problem. They told me there was no error code stored, and it everything complies with the specification based on their testing.

One dealer advised me to just wait for 30 seconds after starting engine and before driving the car. The other dealer said I should wait to see whether the problem is still there after 2 or 3 thousand more miles.

I have never seen such a problem on the BMW 335i and Acura MDX that I drove before, and I don't think this should be expected on Q7 either.

I will appreciate if anyone here has any idea on this.
