Clutch Slip?

No new tires, no electrical work. Engine revs fine in neutral, no lights other than the traction light.

Well something is triggering your traction control if the light is coming on. Does it happen in any other gear or only 3rd? Is it worse in the lower gears?

Humor me please, check your tire wear. Are your rears a lot more worn than the fronts? You say you are on the OE tires and you are at 13k miles so they should be pretty worn by now anyway. I want to make sure that they are wearing evenly. If not, that might trigger the T/C light.

I don't know about the shake but your TCS coming on under heavy acceleration could be your brake fluid level is a little low maybe?
Had that happen to me but my car has 50K miles and the pads were worn down just enough to cause the fluid sensor to trip under acceleration. It's touchy.

Good luck finding your problem.
