maybe a trans mount or torque arm? but those ussually happen only when you accelerate.... Could be something with the clutch. My t-5 shook pretty good and then I changed the clutch/preassure plate/flywheel and It stopped... so not sure which one was making it shake. When I change the one on my other car I will let you know if anything is strange with it. because it shakes some too. hmmm.. not to much it could be rreally. it is either in the balance of tires, or in the drivetrain. (I suppose it could be in the suspension, but if your wheel is not bouncing any then it would not be in the front end.)

driveshaft is out of balance

since you are in Windsor, if there are no places over there that balance driveshafts, there are a couple over here, one is Arrow Truck, just off the Ambassador Bridge

you would need to remove the shaft and bring it over, depending on when you drop it off, it may take till the next day

up to you on rebalance/replace

if you get a new shaft, it will be balanced(a used shaft might be out, but if you get a used shaft cheap, you could take it and have it balanced)

while out, might be good to check the u-joints(for play and for sticking)


if you go to Arrow, they can replace the joints as well(if needed) their prices for these things are pretty reasonable
