To expand on the previous 2 posts, if it were my car I would first check the upper torque mount. Bear in mind I in don’t have direct experience with your model, only with 850’s. I believe you have a similar mount in your car. What typically happens is the rubber in the mount deteriorates and cracks allowing the top of the engine to shift when applying torque to the engine. Yes, it is a fairly easy replacement (at least on 850’s).
You can visually check the rubber in the mount. Agreed - Enlisting a friend to shift gears while you watch the mount (and engine in general) is another good diagnostic tool.
With that many kms on your car that top mount is probably due for replacement.
