I would have to agree with MichaelDay. I've got a six month old '02 and and GT '03 and neither have evidence of any shimmying at any speed below 120. I don't know above 120 since I haven't taken off the speed limiter on either car. Anyway, the '02 is an automatic and has no issues whatsoever in relation to shifting. I've back it up an incline only six or seven times all of which worked out smoothly, I got it to about 15 or 20 or so going in reverse.
The GT is an autostick and does display a little rough downshifting when coming to a full (and controlled) stop from highway speeds. Personally I don't use the full auto at all, I prefer the autostick so with that in mind the rough downshifting is not an issue. Like the '02 the GT drives smoothly in reverse. I've had it to about 15 mph aswell.
