Motor mounts are easy to diagnose
Open hood
Start engine
Shift into R
Foot on the brake raise RPMs and watch for engine to lift up on one side
Take foot off the gas pedal quickly, listen for a "clunk", broken mount on the side that lifted up

Do same think but in D now, other side will lift up

Same for Manual just use 1st and Reverse and clutch pedal

Thanks Ron. I posted this question under the 2.9 forum. I figured this is what the moderators would want me to do.

A messed up transmission can do as much damage as a messed up mount. Had the mounts been bad before, during, or after their work was done it should have been caught and repaired at that time. Any further attributable damage could very well be their own and no way should it be less than 50/50

Hey everyone, including Don, thanks for all the great info. I'm still thinking on this.
I think two different posts of mine might be mixed up or combined somehow.
