Well, my experience has been that when one of those mounts is bad, they're all bad or close to it.

What I would do is this:

Get a friend to sit in the driver's seat.

With the hood open, and you standing to the SIDE, observe the engine as your friend shifts from park to drive. If the motor jumps around much, your motor mounts are shot. If the motor really jumps around as your friend holds down the brakes and gives a little gas, then they are really shot.

If your motor mounts are done, then the trans mount isn't far behind. Do all three mounts at once.

Good luck!
