Shifter Shake
Gear shifter (6 spd MT) shakes pretty consistently. Seems to be a lot worse when idle settles down to 850-ish and pretty bad (to the touch) when shifting at high load/red line. It's there during low load and just crusing around town but not near as bad.
I've done a couple hours of looking around and seems to be a common result of motor mounts going out. However the rest of the car is solid as a rock and doesn't vibrate at all.
Also note, the other day I jacked up the car to look at the underneath just making sure things were looking generally ok and wanted to check out the exhaust system. While I was down there I noticed the transmission had "36k" written in yellow paint on it. I'm assuming the transmission was swapped out but no solid proof yet. (waiting a bunch of paperwork from the dealership that the previous 2 owners kept logged) - Would this have anything to do with it as well?
Thanks in advance for any ideas/input. You guys rock.

I'll pull the mounts after the new years and give them a better look.
As for the shifter itself, it's pretty snug with no excessive play and no noise.
