500 rpm idle in "D" normal?
Lately I've been noticing from the tach that when I'm idling in "D", the rpm's are at 500rpm's & I feel a 'lil bit of a shake coming from the low idle, is that idle speed a bit too low?
BTW this is w/ an auto. trans

Thats a bit low. Have you cleaned your throttle body out lately? That usually brings things up to speed.

Mine was idling at the same speed and I did a TB cleaning plus changed my fuel filter and PCV valve. At first the car would idle at 600 RPM but then after a few days it started to fall back to 500 RPMs again. Is there anything else I should consider?

You could try to tighten your tb cables, don't make it to tight, but make it tight enough so that your cable don't sag as much. Kinda confusing but you kinda get the idea.

Mine (95 auto) wa idling at around 500 - 600 when warm (and in park) until I cleaned throttle body, and changed fuel filter. Now it's idling at around 700-900 when warm. Is this the "right spot"? I was thinking something was wrong when it was idling higher even when warm...

Throttle cables have nothing to do with your idle speed. Tightening them up will take the play out of your gas pedal.
If your idle isn't around 600 in D, you should do one of two things:
1) Clean your Idle Air Control Valve
2) Adjust your default idle speed
Instead of making this a long post I'd rather just say
