Default Engine Wobble When Idling?

Noticed my engine seems to have started to wobble when looking at it on idle. Car runs fine, no activity on the Knock Link, no strange noises etc
I have to hold my hand up and say that on a run out yesterday i went to change from 5th to 4th and acciddently and very momentarily put it into 2nd! Took it easy after doing so and took a look under the bonnet when i came to a stop just to have a check and thats when i noticed the wobble. Slowly started to add the speed whilst checking the knock link, oil temps/pressure and the car is running spot on.
What might be causing the wobble? Could the cambelt have jumped a tooth or would i experience more than just a wobbly engine? Possibly an engine mount?

Any advise or input is greatly appreciated.

Default

Sounds like an engine mounting, I had the two back ones replaced for a similar wobble on tickover. Nothing else seemed to be effected except a little smoother gear changing and less lurch when throttle on/off.
Cheers

Thumbs up

Cheers John, hopefully thats all it is, maybe the sudden jolt when i put it into second was enough to damage a mount rather than anything else (fingers crossed) Some further investigation with the spanners required.
