Did the wheel shop check for a bent rim or a tire that isn't round?

you can balance a square .. were the tires roadforce balanced?

If the steering wheel is shaking at idle when the car is in gear, does it smooth out when placed into park or neutral? If so, check the ATF level...those symptoms suggest low ATF and/or the torque converter is failing.

Have your had your motor mounts checked @monel777?

Sounds like a worn mount.

Are all the lug nuts properly tightened?

The clunk while shifting to reverse does indeed suggest a failed motor mount...typically the rear hydraulic filled motor mount.

2 different issues, more info needed. Steering wheel shakes sitting still at idle or while driving? You can count how many shifts you get and decide if you're not getting all the gears. Did everything start at once?
