I am able to move the rubber in the engine motor mount with my finger is that normal? I am thinking it is the cause of a vibration at 3500 RPMs

What type vehicle please!
Most motor mounts are rubber vulcanized to metal and you wouldn't just move them with a finger and would cause issues if not replaced,

It is a VW 1.8t 2005 GTI
A VW person told me if I am having vibrations it could also be the dogbone mount, which attaches the transmission to the frame. I had the transmission rebuilt and they put the old dogbone mount back in maybe I should check that out also.

Maybe you should have someone that can recognize a problem check it for you.

I should but not spending anymore money on it. The vibration is very slight not a big issue.

OK - so far nobody has a clue what if anything is wrong up to tighten up something but it doesn't bother you so kind of ends the problem,
