When I put my 2005 ES330 in gear the engine jumps, is it the transmission mount? It does it in reverse or Drive.

It is one of the mounts for the tranny or engine. I think you have at least 4 on those FWD ES's. I think there is a lower mount on both drivers and passenger sides, a lower on the front behind the radiator and the one on the top back left corner when you are standing at the car looking in the engine compartment. I'd use a buddy to put the car in gear, and try to isolate which mount is allowing the motor to move. Thats going to be the one to go after.
