I mean most things need relatively good communication skills, but not mechanical engineering especially.

Every degree/job needs good communication skills. It's an unwritten requirement. You will most likely be asked to do some group work and give a presentation at some point.

I doubt it. You will need to be able to read and understand technician drawings, and convey your ideas. ( later on it will depend on the job, if you are leading a team then yes you will need to have decent communication skills) It is much more important to be good with practical side of things. ( At work it helps if you can deal well with banter)

As others have also mentioned, however, for an engineering degree, communication skills* aren't hugely important. I would say that the most important skill to complete an engineering degree is being good mathematically, i.e. be good at manipulating and solving equations.
*What you actually mean in this instance is presentation skills. This is a subset of communication skills, but not necessarily the same thing as most communication isn't done via presentations. You will have to do some presentations during the degree, so you will get the opportunity to practise them. You will also have to write reports during the degree, too, which are another form of communication skills. Just because you are nervous at delivering presentations doesn't mean you have bad communication skills!
