You can check to see if a motor mount is broken by having someone sit in the car, and with your foot on the brake, put the car in drive and give the engine a little gas. Have someone look at the engine move. Do the same thing with the car in reverse.

If the front or back of the engine sort of jumps up, you'll be able to see if the front or rear motor mount is broken.

Do you get a vibration at idle in the cabin?
