This is the only MB I've ever driven...is the violent shutoff a sign that new mounts/shocks are needed?

My engine shut-offs were 'violent' and my engine mounts had no cracks, but they were mashed down which makes for room for the engine to rock around. When I jacked up the engine I pushed and pulled on the engine shocks. The shocks still good resistance to movement. The shocks are there to dampen, but when the engine mounts are worn the shocks have much more energy applied to them.
If you change yours I believe you will be amazed at the difference and it can be noticed at start, shifts, and shut-off.
