Sounds like a worn/broken gearbox mount or, if you're lucky, a loose 
gearbox mount bolt (believe me, it happens--usually the day before a 
rally and the torrential downpour on the way back from the Alfa shop 
where you pay $30 to have the clunk professionally diagnosed gets 
inside a wire splice by the PO and disables your car and the tow 
truck takes 3 hours to get there and you spend the next morning 
fixing your ignition instead of prepping your car for competition).
