Hi:
Here is a test. Have a helper in the car while you are out. Start the car, open the hood, and have the driver make sure the park brake is on. Next, have them place the shifter in Drive. Keeping firm pressure on the brake so the car doesn't move, have them lightly press the gas. Do this in both drive and reverse. If there is a bad motor mount, the engine will lift. Any more movement that about 1/2 inch would indicate a problem.

Let me know what you find.

Joe
