Ed;
If you suspect a torn motor mount, I would confirm that and replace that
part first. It is much easier and less labor intensive and can be done with
motor and subframe in the car. Basically just try to lift the engine, with a
floor jack or similar, and watch carefully for lift and separation at the
mount. And Yes; a torn mount willl give you some strange clutch chatter, or
exaggerate any chatter that may be present. That may or may not be your
whole problem, but it is a much easier place to start.
