Okay i have a 1997 Toyota Camry with 137,000 miles on it
i have had a few problems with my car not many but i had 800 dollars of work done ( i am only 17 and paid for the expenses myself) anyways i just got new tires and now
-when accelerating it vibrates above thirty most of the time
-if i go over a small hill it will vibrate
-when i let off the gas pedal and lightly press it again it will vibrate and sometimes wont change gears when going i have to let off the pedal
-when on cruise it wont change gears until i take it off
What is causing this? My thoughts are my transmission or my torque converter. Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

It is the Transmission

When you got new tires, did you have them balanced?
If you're in cruise, you shouldn't be changing gears anyway. Cruise control is supposed to keep you going a constant speed.
I used to have an old Toyota that vibrated when I hit a bump, but I don't remember what the problem was -- it was years ago.

That sounds like an ignition misfire.
Either fouled spark plug, or loose spark plug wire.
A tuneup couldn't hurt.
Maybe fuel filter too.
You will have to do regular maintenance on ANY car.
Spend a couple hundred on a good tuneup, and drive it for another five years.

Go to a certified Toyota mechanic and have the computer in your car re-programmed.
