Steering Wheel torque shake when shifting gears?

Just installed clutchmaster stage 3 clutch (still in burn in period), and ZZP front trans mount. Fixed shifter cables and car seems to be about back to normal in terms of shifting gears/getting into reverse, etc. Still getting used to the engagement right off the clutch floor but it’s not too bad.

Noticed that after clutch job, when shifting under load, typically 2nd to 3rd, I get wheel shake when disengaging say second gear and again when reengaging in third gear.

Doesn’t happen when I have a very limited load like 3rd to 4th @40 ish mph. I noticed the lower cabs were a bit chewed and order a new set. But wasn’t happening before I did the clutch. Also haven’t gotten an alignment yet bc I did an alignment just 1 week before doing clutch bc I got all new tires.

Anyone had exp. with the steering wheel/torque shake when changing gears under load? Or any idea what it might be?

Car is a 2010 SS with 77k miles, all stock minus ZZP CAI and drilled and slotted rotors. Any help is appreciated!

What you describe sounds similar to a problem I had years ago with my 1993 Dodge Shadow.
The issue was the CV shaft/axle
It's possible maybe during the clutch job one of the CV axles got damaged. May be worth it to jack up the front end, and turn the tires by hand and listen for clicking sounds or any other abnormal sounds
