the motor mount that I've seen fail more often than others is the mount on the top of the transmission on the far left-side of the car...under the fusebox. Something you can do is have someone in the car (parking brake set) feathering the clutch to load up the motor (but not moving the car, since you'll want to be watching the motor). You watch the motor and especially the mounts for excessive movement. Obviously this is somewhat of a judgement call that requires some experience, but you can probably tell if ond of the mounts is really jumping around. The whole engine/transmission assembly will flex when it's loaded, but it should be just that: flexing...not jumping forward and backwards.
