Have you checked enginemounts?
Is a miss or a straight out shake.
And what does coolant mixing with ATF feel like, I'm intrigued.

I reckon it's running on 5cyls, as mentioned, check the fuel and ign systems first, and dont forget the gearbox mount.

EDIT: Just noticed this is my 900th post lol

Doubt it would be a mount. I've driven my ute with no gearbox mount and all you notice is the side slap through the shifter. Had a broken engine mount in my ea, dropped the clutch and snapped the last one and all it did was skew the motor around about 20 radial degrees untill it rested on my steering arm. Still drove it home, only thing that changed was the steering got harder.

My bet is you're looking at a management issue rather than a mechanical failure.

More importantly, have you lost any performance or is it just shaking?
