Default 1997 thunderbird vibrations

i have an automatic transmission 97 V6 thunderbird
recently my car started vibrating pretty good when i come to complete stops in my car. even when i go into reverse or into drive it will vibrate quickly and then go away. im not sure what it is. can anyone give me some advice?
is it the motor mounts or anything else?
any input would be greatly appreciated
the vibrations are quite annoying and for now i just put my car into neutral when i come to a stop. also if you know what is wrong with my car can you also give me a heads up to how much it would cost to fix.
thanks again guys
Vince

I would check the motor mounts and the bushings for the subframe. How does the engine it self run? Does the engine run smooth or could it be a misfire you are feeling?
