Default 92 LS 400 running rough

I have a 92 LS with 217,000. While mild acceloration or at idle, it is running rough. Others that have been in the car have said that my transmission is going out, But then I mash the peddle and the car will downshift and take off. Power delivery is smooth as long as the car is winding out. If I just want to hang out at 1800 rpms it starts jerking like a buck horse. Very unLexus like. Of all the things it could be how possible are spark plugs and wires? Does any one have any other ideas?
