I have a 2001 Ford Mustang 53,000 original miles. When my car is in idle it shakes real bad for a few min then it stops and appears to drive normal excepts it cuts out a little when going in reverse. I had a mechanic check the motor mounts-he said all is ok. Transmission fluid was recently changed for the first time. It has a new fuel pump recently and a complete tune up. I was told it might be the front end . Can anyone help me with this issue?

If car not moving and at idle front end got nothing to do with the shaking
do an injector balance test and check for any vacuum leaks in the intake manifold
