I have spent some more time with the car since Friday and I have noticed that it is still vibrating a lot when idling from a cold start. They said the other motor mounts were fine? Not sure what else it could be. I do have a higher idle which maybe from my car running with a CEL after doing the Focus Hack for the EGR valve bypass.

OK, thanks. I completed the passenger-side mount replacement a couple of days ago, and it has made a big difference to the car. I think I diagnosed the correct problem. The install went OK, except for having to adjust the jack under the motor a couple of times to get things to line up for removal or re-installation. Two sets of eyes helped at those moments. Oh, plus the fact that the nuts on the motor end were 18 mm - what a stupid odd-ball size.

By the way, the Haynes manual makes the transmission mount look like a fairly straight-forward repair also. I'll check that one in the springtime, but for now the car does not show any clunking, so I guess it is fine.
