Wheel alignment, or at worst case it might be the bushes.
Take it and get a wheel alignment done, and see what happens from there.
Also, if you have retreads or poor tyres, occasionally these can become oval shaped, so this might make the car unstable.
I wouldn't be be concerned about the gearbox otherwise you would be having troubles way before 100kmph.

not likely at that speed, but theres a possibility that its the converter slipping.
it makes a terrible shudder throughout the car and a slight noise.

To make sure its not the trans just unplug the plug on the passenger side of the transmission it is the lockup. It wont do anything but maybe use a little more fuel on the freeway.
