Transmission or engine mounts?

Has anyone had this problem before. Basically when I am coming to a stop the car does a little vibrate or shake when it is almost at a full stop. Searching the forums it seems like this could be my transmission mounts. I was thinking it could be my trans fluid?

My dad's S430 did the same thing a few months ago. He put in some fuel injection cleaner and it solved the problem. On my S55 my car vibrated during light and heavy acceleration and that was the tranny mount. Hope this helps.

do all of the mounts at once. Its probably your engine mounts making the vibration though.
