Check the front of the engine and make sure that the pulley on the balance shaft is tight. Grasp both sides and try to wobble it in all directions. Look for oil slung out around the engine compartment from the front seal. If it moves or there is a lot of oil around it, the balance shaft bearings are shot, an engine out job to replace as the largest bearing is at the rear of the block and the shaft comes out that way. Over-tightening the fan/alternator/waterpump belt causes rapid wear of these bearings.
Listen carefully for noises in the transmission. Strident whining on over-run (foot off the gas at speed, freewheel locked out) indicates bad bearings causing misalignment of the gears.
