Question Jerk when Acceleration and Vibration at Idle

I have a 2001 lexus es300 with 170k miles and i believe it is time for transmission mounts and engine mounts to be replaced. the mounts that i know of are the torque strut/ dog bone mount. the front fluid filled mount, but what else is there? What other mounts should/do i have replaced. I've called a few independent shops and the cost has been anywhere from 400-700 bucks. I really want to take care of this issue and at 170k and 11 years old, they probably need to be replaced anyways. Thanks for any help. I was going to replace just the torque strut at first but figured i will just change everything at once.

sounds like the mounts are shot.
inspect the dogbone mount first and if it's done for, replace that first.

+1 Dog Bone, then Trans mount in the drive side wheel well, then the two front engine/trans mounts.

There is another in the back side but that requires and engine/trans removal.
