The engine mount is likely the main culprit. In addition to that, the allignment for the shift coupler need to be adjusted. The shift coupler is just a piece of rubber sandwiched between two steel bars (molded in one piece) each with 2 6mm studs welded on it. The studs connect to the input rod to the transmission on one end and shift rod on another. On the shift rod end, there is a collar bolt which could be loosened to align the shift linkage so no undue stress is put on the piece of rubber.
The correct procedure after replacing the shift linkage is to loosened that bolt to release any tension in it and tighten again.
How do I know it? I replaced mine yesterday. I noticed the shift rod linkage and the transmission input linkage were not aligned. If I forced the linkages on to the coupler, tightening of the bolts pull on the piece of rubber. Over time the rubber will be separated much more easily than if they were aligned.
I doubt this is something a regular maintenance mechanic will pay attention to.
