Look at the documentation for the shell command
(say Control-H F shell <Return>).  It describes how the shell is
selected.  It looks at explicit-shell-file-name, not shell-file-name.
I use tcsh normally, but csh when running under Emacs. 
From my .emacs file:

  (setq shell-file-name "/bin/csh")
  (setq explicit-shell-file-name shell-file-name)
