Usually when it comes and goes as described, it's simply tire balance. Where do you feel the vibration most, in the steering or the seat?

If you are hearing a clicking noise when turning, chances are you have a bad CV joint.

It isn't uncommon. You will need to replace it. Most people just replace the "half shaft" which is the axle with two new CV joints. THat is most likely what I would recommend for you.

Many times the boot will rip in them allowing the grease to spin out and dirt to enter. That is usually the cause of failure.

When you had things apart, could you have damaged the shift solenoid wire?

It's been awhile, but if I remember correctly, one clutch pack takes care of low and reverse. Since you have both of them, I agree with you on the 2nd. However, I question if the clutch pack would cause this problem.
