I wouldn't suspect a problem with the engine or tranny if you only notice the shake in the steering wheel. I would first check tire pressure...seems silly but I've been suprised at the difference it can make. Then have a shop rebalance the wheels and check to makesure the tires are not "out of round." Of the last 8 tires I've purchased 3 have been out of round possibly from hitting curbs, overloading or defects (Goodyear replaced mine for free, no questions asked). How old are the tires? I've also had tires that looked perfect but caused horrible front end shaking. I replaced bushings, bearings, struts, engine mounts and cv joints (fwd) with no success until I replaced the tires.

Good luck,
Steve
