Mine has a slight misfire on idle, had the garage look at it and they could find nothing wrong. I think the shaking is due to the resonant frequency of the car and the tickover speed. Next time you feel it shaking, increase the rpm slightley (100 - 200) and see if it goes away. If it is this, I have heard of people increasing the idle speed slightley to compensate, but dont know how. Ive got used to it now:)
