"... in park and neutral it idles good...when in drive and stopped at a light it vibrates some"
This could be engine/tranny mount issue.

"it is a jerk, seems to be around the gear shifting but my dad and the mechanic said it wasn't a transmission problem."
This could be Turbine Shaft Speed or Manual Lever Position sensor issue

"also I guess the engine light did come on, my dad didn't get the numbers from autozone"
Need to get it scanned again and post the codes to be sure.
