Default Rattling/Shaking=Bad Motor Mounts?

On open throttle runs.... the engine shakes a bit. Is this normal or should I look into replacing motor/tranny mounts???

Car has 68k miles and 6spd....

it really doesn't shake while on idle, it only shakes when you get on it. it's not horrific shaking, but it's noticeable. how much does it run to change mounts?
