How drastically do the RPM's rev when you push it?
A general rule of thumb is 10psi oil pressure for every 1000RPMs. That isn't an exact figure, so don't go quoting it as scripture, but the oil pump is driven by the camshaft, so the faster then engine goes, that faster the oil pump pushes oil. Are you traveling outside of the normal range of the oil pressure on your dash gauge? If it's in the normal range, don't go looking for a problem that isn't there.
Your transmission could be taking a dump, but you could have other issues like torque converter drain back, or a loose band that needs adjusting. I believe 1st and reverse are controlled by the same transmission band.

it also shakes when i change to 2nd gear or downshift from second. and shakes pretty bad when i push the pedal in to about idle speed
