Taking an engine mounting of any car and then driving even for a short distance is foolish and will probably result in damage to power unit/ other components . Not advisable !!!!

Check if rubber centre has dropped / split/ seperated from metal .Check for excessive lift or movement with pinch bar .With h/brake on and standing clear of front of car , get someone to engage 1st/reverse gear and release clutch slowly till engine bites. Observe suspect mounting .If mounting worn, should see engine "kick "Again ,be very careful ,could even chock wheels .
