Engine mounts, 2nd gear popping out

I've noticed for awhile that my 900 has what seems like engine vibration when driving down the highway that increases with engine speed. I've suspected the engine mounts. Second gear just started popping out when I let off the gas at slow speeds so I'm focused on the engine mounts right now. The shifter works fine through all of the gears at all speeds.
What is acceptable play for the engine mounts, especially the front mount which I see has the most play with one foot on the brake and one on the clutch looking at from the driver's seat? I'm going to have another person do this for me so that I can look at all 3 mounts directly. After I rule out the mounts, I plan on checking over the linkage. I'm hoping that the tranny isn't soon to be toast. Thanks ahead of time for your input and advice!
