Could be a lot of things. Are the wheels balanced? Any cupping to the tires?

Maybe a broken motor mount or bad tranny mount.............Like he said it could be alot of different thing causing this problem if you don't know what to look for take to a certified mechanic to look at it thats not good for the car ...good luck!

Shaking? Lil more info/specific. Where do you feel it shaking? Steering wheel, seats, matter what gear you're in?
