Very common that the exhaust pipe touches the crossmember under acceleration, right where it passes over it. Easy to see that and the condition of the mount at the same time.

Not really but worth looking at. Make sure the mount has all it's bolts and nuts, too. I've had them missing before. Mounts many times are deteriorated because of trans fluid leakage, too. Poke your noggin under there and have a gander.
