If this problem did in fact begin with the transmission tunnel work, you may very well have ended up with an engine/transmission mount issue, as Matt suggested. This would explain the incrementally worsening effect as you go lower in the gears, because the torque load on the mounts is directly proportional to the gear ratio in use. This means over 3 times as much load on the mounts in 1st as in 4th, for instance (assuming you're not spinning the rear tires).

Open the hood, set the parking brake, start it up and watch the engine for excessive movement as you begin to engage the clutch in 1st gear. An inch or less of movement is normal, three or four inches ain't. :)
