I've gotten that a lot. People think its strange that a vehicle after the early 90s still hasn't gone hydraulic....and I agree, I don't know what Ford was thinking...
But anyways, tranny mount will be obvious, as generally your shifter will wobble around substantially. The same can be said of the engine. Put your car in neutral, pop the hood, and have someone rev it up to around 3000 and let go, do it several times. If the engine raises up move than usual or twists substantially, then you've probably got a bad engine mount.
For a more accurate diagnosis, get up under the car and use a pry bar to check for excessive movement of the mounts at the mounts location, its the same for engine and tranny mounts.
