Transmission Mounts?

2000 986 Tiptronic, nearing 99,000mi.  I replaced the front engine mount about 2,000mi ago which made a signification improvement in vibrations, noises, etc. that I was having then.  I have lately been experiencing what I would call drivetrain sway at shifting, basically like I can feel everything continue to rock back and forth after a shift, either up or down, or during a quick acceleration it feels like things are still moving behind me.  I'm thinking maybe it is the transmission mounts, but I have read all the posts and it sounds like it is rare that these go bad on a 986.  Another symptom I have is that there is occassionally a clunking/cracking/creaking noise that sounds like it is right behind my head (left side, U.S. car), especially when I go over speed bumps or back out of my driveway, so apparently when there is some uneven load on the rear wheels/suspension.  Thoughts?  Transmission mounts or something else?
