Default Slight vibration in the shifter at idle... new engine mounts needed? new tranny mounts?

My car has 71K miles on it. It's had the aftermarket suspension for about 20K miles. Is it time for new engine and tranny mounts? Is this an expensive procedure for a shop complete?

The reason I ask is because I have begun to feel a slight vibration in my shifter when the car is idling at a stop. I can also see the exhaust shaking ever so slightly under the car. The tach shows the idle as stable and I believe it is idling at the correct RPM. So... I figured the only other thing it could be is engine or tranny mounts... What do you all think? Thanks!

Visually inspect the front snub. Motor mounts rarely ever go bad! ;O)
