The shaking of the front end could be many things, personally I would check the wheel balance first. The gear stick wobble points to the gear box mountings been worn.
The vehicle shift points should change based on throttle position. Partial throttle will give closer shift points where as full throttle should give longer time between shifts. A few things could cause shift problems, but if they just happened all of a sudden than I would suspect the control pressure cable.

If you look on top of the valve cover you will see a cable with an acordian type rubber boot over the end. That cable runs down to the tranny and is critical to the shift points. The ball end pops off the linkage and you will see a screwable plastic adjustment where the housing mounts to a bracket. I would guess that the cable end popped off the ball or the cable is broken.

Adjusting the cable is simple.
1. Pop cable end off ball.
2. Push cable end first to the rear (towards trunk), then pull carefully forward (toward oil cap) until a slight resistance is felt.
3. In this position, hold the cable end above ball.
4. Adjust control pressure cable control at adjusting screw so that the ball socket can be pushed free of tension on ball head.
NOTE: The manual only allows 1mm of pull after adjustment, and no slack. That is how critical the adjustment is.
Hope this helps.

No one knows until the reveal themselves after Top Gear get a new Stig. Thanks
Why does a Chevy 66 duramax hesitate right before shifting gears?
Duramax is a diesel motor. Most diesels have a built in governor to keep the engine speed from going too high. I suspect that the engine is hitting the top speed and the governor is kicking in just before you shift.
