Your car probably has a hormonic balancer between the engine and the transmition. Its job is to cancel the engine vibrations during idle. I have spent money on motor and transmition mounts but idle was rough. Then one day the hormonic balancer broke and replacing it made a big difference for idle. My car idles smoothly and doesn't vibrate at acceleration anymore.
I don't know how to check if it has gone bad. Maybe someone else here could help.
