Default odd shaking / roughness in reverse WHEN COLD

Hey guys, i've noticed this as it's gotten colder, but if i'm turning out of my parking spot in reverse when it's cold out i have a very rough jitteriness and roughness.

then i shift into drive (yes auto) and the roughness is gone, rides very smooth.

Any ideas? Motor mounts maybe? i'm not sure...

does it only do it for the first time? So once you're driving and it's warmed up if you throw it in reverse does it still shake?

nope, the car as a whole doesn't like the cold, but when it's warmed up there's no shaking.

also i feel it's more from the passenger side...

wish I could drive it... I'm still just a little confused. So no shakes when normal driving? Mostly just reverse? Low speeds?

yea it's hard to explain too

so in drive it's fine.
in reverse (when it's cold out), and i press the gas, i feel a sort of resistance and roughness.
when it is warmed up-no resistance.

also i checked tranny fluid today and it's dark after changing it about 10k ago (or so my mechanic told me). I'm unsure. Time for a tsx...
