My first guess would be a change in form causing you to use more muscle. Proper alignment (form) allows the use of as little muscle as possible. All the talk about being relaxed is because of this goal. If you are trembling the new set up may be causing a change in your form. You may be using too much muscle instead of bone on bone support. Get a coach or an experienced shooting to watch you. Maybe they can pick up what's wrong.

Ohhhh you beat me to it, I was going to say exactly the same. One other thing to consider is the make of the limbs, in my experience 36lb W&W limbs are roughly the same draw weight as 38lb Hoyts. When you say you 40lb on the fingers have you actually measured this with a scale?
I know of one very good and experienced compound archer who shakes like mad if he goes over 5 seconds or so at full draw. Take the arrow off and he has no problem at all!
