Default thumping, jerking, hard knocking

I'll post this is External Engine also to rule out possibilities...

Sitting Still In neutral or in gear. I Have a 6 Speed.

While Idle their is a thumping, knocking, Not smooth in the middle of revolutions. So if I was sitting still I would feel this thumping, knocking, hard jerking. Every I would say 5 to 10 seconds then the engine will feel fine 5 to 10, knocking, fine 5 to 10, knocking, fine.

I did some searching on here and found out that most people have their rpm's go up and down.

My RPM's dont move.

Also searching turned up sensors might be going out.

And the last thing I found with my search was possible motor mount.


What I am Asking is:

Is their any other possibilties?
And how to rule out the above listed in order to make a correct decision.

Also: Yea I could just take to car to the dealer and ask them to look it over but I like to consult With you guys first so I dont get the run around....
