Annoying Vibrating when cold

I have a 94 ss auto with 184k km's, and when the car is cold and I come to a stop from driving a short distance the whole car vibrates. Its not consistent though. It doesn't always happen and when it does happen some times are worse than others. Another thing to note is when I let off the brake and move forward a bit it might stop, vibrate less, or vibrate more. The harmonic balancer was replaced a little over a month ago, it has ngk plugs which are fairly new, and ngk wires that are also fairly new. I have searched multiple forums as well as all over the internet to no avail. Any info or suggestions would be very appreciated.

Thanks!

Does your car have an automatic or manual transmission?

After the car warms up is the problem still there?

When my car was an automatic I found that the slightly higher idle when the engine was cold created a little more vibration compared to when the idle was at its warmed up level. When you come to a stop and are experiencing the vibration, put the gear selector into neutral and see if the vibration goes away.

Honestly, unless it's really bad, I'd probably just live with it. Changing the engine & motor mounts may help, but it may just be a characteristic of the car.
