om617 Rattles with break not pressed to the end

My engine is not a smoothest, it has some shake to it, no rocking fortunately just shaking.

When I stop from time to time I get rattles what I noted is that the rattle stopes if I press the break all the way to the bottom.

I have also noted that the rattle happens when got sharp left while driving around 10 miles an hour.

My current idea is that this is engine mounts issues, the sharp left rattle confirms it but I can not figure why rattles go aways if the break is all the way down.

Any ideas ?

What else that could be.

ps.

I just replaced a breather bracket and yes it was broken but it was not it.

Shift linkage bushings (under the car)? When they go, they can make a hell of a racket at idle.

Diseasel300 It is really hard to say if it is from under the car.
