It is difficult to tell if a mount is broken without taking them off.
My 88 900t did the same thing. I thought that my trans was dying. Then I did the broken mount test: put on e-brake, let the clutch out in first w/ the hood open. Watch the engine. Does it sink or move much? My engine sank, alot. It turned out that both right and left mounts were broken.
Try this test also: accelerate to 5000 rpm, then let off the gas abruptly, in any gear. If it pops out, it is from the engine moving around. My car would pop out of ALL gears. I replaced the mounts and all is well.
Good luck
