Sorry if some of these sound obvious but we've all been caught by them at times.
Gearbox oil - have you checked/topped it up recently? (Use the recommended stuff only - otherwise you may not be able to change gear.)
Engine/gearbox mounts - have a good look with thee engine running. Cambelt one may collapse if its like the BX/ZX one - seems to be a hollow rubber cylinder or something. (to be fair I've had 2 fail and never noticed anything) There should be 2 soft rubber wedges , one in front and one behind.
Gearbox is suspended from a mount on its top - usually well hidden. Is the rubber still there?
Engine bottom mount - can be seen from by the drivers door - does the engine wobble around and is it broken? - Have a look with the engine running.
Driveshafts? Feel all the joints for play and noise when the wheels are on lock.
