Hi there

 

Subframe mounting bolts loose maybe?

I believe there is a lower gearbox mount which prevents the engine rocking backwards and forwards on acceleration/deacceleration. I think it's called a stabiliser mount, no doubt someone on here will give the correct name.

 

A quick test is the grab the top of the engine and see if it rocks.
