You might want to check the engine and transmission mounts. If one has failed or is seriously worn it could cause a shaking under certain conditions.

My guess is that the Front Engine Mount is badly worn.
It will cause this shaking and makes it harder to shift as well.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro

My Boxster is an 04S and I noticed it does the same thing, but it only started in very cold weather. The front in feels like it is skipping when I turn the wheel sharply. This is only at slow speeds. I have noticed that after the tires have warmed up and I do the same exact thing, the front tires will not skip. :dance:

I think that it could be the tires themselves as they are not the ones that came with the car originally. When these tires are done, I will get some good years again. :dance:
