Chris,
Absolutely a bad mount could do the same thing. Checking and transmission mounts can be done with the vehicle on the ground.
You will need a helper. On a flat surface, engage the parking brake. Open the hood and have a helper keep his foot hard on the brake and place the vehicle in drive and gently press the throttle. Do the same in reverse. If there is a bad engine mount, the engine will lift on one or the other side. Some movement is normal, but excessive is noticeable.
Do the same while you watch the transmission under the vehicle to see if there is excessive movement.
Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.
Take care,
Joe
