ooops sorry for the above , didnt see there was a 2nd page. I am going to throw this one out there and you might think I am crazy but here it goes.... Have you checked the motor mounts? I had one of these that did something similar and found that a motor mount was bad and putting the engine, trans and axle shafts in a bind causing a shutter feeling. I know it sounds like a reach but worth a shot!

Just another thought, if the motor mounts are OK then could be a CV Joint problem, The CV will start wearing in one spot thus allowing the joint to become unbalanced when riding in that spot. The problem will go away when the joint flex (under load) and then come back when cruising. I cant see your problem being a engine performance problem but it will be a bear to figure out. More than likely will entale some trial and error.

When you changed the motor out did you drop the cradle out of the car? If so then you might want to check the cradle position, if the cradle position is off (such as not square with the car ) then the same thing could possibly happen. Hope this is helping and not confusing you.
