"It is okay to run it to 100K before changing it?"

Sure. Volvo recommends it, and the rounded teeth essentially prevent the "snagging" of the former square tooth against a swuare groove in the sprocket (which resulted in a snapped belt).

And if your t-belt breaks, the engine is unharmed.

"...sounds like a bushing needs replacing. Could it be a motor or transmission mount?"

Hmm. Happen any other time, such as corners, upshifting, downshifting (not just OD), or under acceleration? Does it feel as if it's from one side or the other?
