Obviously the engine shaking is the issue, not the motor mount. Replacing the mount for a shaking engine is akin to airing up the tires because the radiator leaks. Find the issue causing the shaking first, then replace the motor mount to isolate any remaining vibration from reaching the chassis. Good repair practices never go away, but they are often forgotten or overlooked.
