i dont know man, check all the mounts on your drive train. your cooling system isnt going to make the engine shake. also make sure your drive shaft is ok, i imagine that if it was bent it would also shake the engine while vibrating the hell out of your car but if its shaking in neutral i dont know what else to check

make sure all the tubes behind the MAF are tight if they arent it will run like **** if you want to check for vac leaks then take a can of carb cleaner and spray all the vac lines,around the MAF and TB and if the RPM's go up you have a vac leak

^ its not like a hesitation type thing is it, are your ground points good? i had/have somthing similar around 3800 rpms i know mine is due to grounding, and sometimes it would shudder . . so i dunno make a check list maybe? could be something you wouldn't expect . . .
