Whats a good indicator that your Tranny or Motor mounts need to be replaced?

Excessive engine movement/tranny movement. When my trans mount came apart, it sounded like my posi unit was going out while turning lol. The trans would hit the DS tunnel and the shifter would shoot up out of the floor. It would be harder to tell with an A4 I guess.

The motor mounts don't show as much when they go, as the rubber is clamped together tightly. It literally has to fall apart and come out of the clamshell before the motor starts to move alot.

I agree but if the Trans mount is broke the culprit may be a very worn Driver side motor mount. My Trans mount was torn from one side to the other so I replaced the left motor mount when I pulled the clamshells apart the rubber mount just fell right out (It's supossed to be bonded to the clamshells)
My shifter would move so much it tore the weather boot and broke the upper console. I have all urethane now and it Rocks.
