Vibration--Engine Mounts?

I'm also getting the same vibrations, but i have changed both the upper and lower motor mounts, and the vibration hasent changed. Could the tranny mount be to blame?...worth changing it to find out?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Start over.
What is your car? Year, model, body, trim, etc.
What is your complaint?
What has already been done to it?
You installed Factory mounts or aftermarket?

2008 LX Coupe Standard 1.8L
Factory lower mount replaced with factory mount.
No cracks or tears in the rubber or mount itself on upper mount. Replaced transmission prior to all this at dealership. Haven't checked the tranny mount yet, but there is no noticeable extra movement when changing gears (1st to 2nd etc and forward to reverse)
Vibration happening upon cold start and during engine breaking...driving in first, rev to 4k, let off and you hear it. Accelerate and it stops.

Here Exone's advice fixed mine. It's only about a $250 part and pretty simple to put on.
