Backlash in drivetrain

Backlash in drivetrain
Now that I've fixed all of the problems that were causing fault codes and turning on warning lights, I've started to pay attention to the less obvious stuff. My biggest worry right now is that there seems to be a lot of backlash in the drivetrain. If I'm driving in traffic and I take my foot off the gas to slow down, then step on the gas to speed up, there's a noticeable jolt when the power from the engine hits the wheels. It's not a normal jolt, it feels like there's some play in the drivetrain. Hopefully it's not a transmission issue.
My first thought is that it might be engine mounts, but I honestly have no idea. What are the symptoms of faulty engine mounts? And what else might be causing a jerk/thud when going from braking to accelerating?
