There's pic's?
yeah there's pics, looks like a dancer, no offense, may just be the look you were going for when you took them (sultry or whatever) but I've sworn off the shaker bar... My brother married a dancer though, nice girl, just takes her clothes off to make a living, but whatever. Her friends are PSYCHO!!!

You are getting a lot advice here, let me try to organize it for you.
You are right, it is most likely not the trans. But we can work up to that. First, you said the steering wheel shakes when you brake. That is simple. Thats warped brake rotors. You need a front brake job.
Then the wheels. Do you need new tires yet? If so, replace them now. If not, have them rebalanced as suggested. If they are properly balanced, it shouldn't matter where you mount them.
Now the tech comment about the torn CV boot concerns me. That is something you can have confirmed very easy. Just have another tech look at that for you. If he can confirm you have a torn boot, have that fixed. It might already be too late, and you might need a new CV axle. Look into that quickly.
And I'm in Nashville, so Louisville is pretty close. Stay in touch for summer car meets.

Thanks for all the responses. I don't believe it could be the transmission personally. It does sound like an alignment or unbalanced wheel. I think I may go to a few other places through out this week and just ask around and get some more opinions. If all else fails I may head up to the Chevy dealership and get a diagnostic test ran. Hopefully it's something not as serious. Because there is a bit of uneven wear as well on one of my tires...so maybe it's something else. I'm hoping.
And yes...it really is me in my pictures. I got a link to my myspace on my profile I do believe. Fun times.

Well just to sum this all up. Went to the dealer today and had someone I know look at it and run a test for me free of charge. Turns out it was the rotors. Also the front axle and seal needs replacing. Not to mention that the front right rim is bent so that needs to be fixed. Nothing at all to do with the transmission. So now it's just a matter of fixing all this. Just about all the advice I got here was right, and def. helped me know what to ask them to check out first. Thanks everyone!
