weird transmission noises

[MetalHead]

and a safe bet it would be. i checked under the car and i found something very interesting. out of the four main bolts that bolt my engine to my engine mounts, the two on the torque side (driver's side) are missing. This meant that every time i hit the gas my engine on the driver's side would lift up and it has caused part of the clutch assembly to come apart. i would consider this good, because all i need to fix it is the two missing bolts for the engine mounts and the connecting pin that connects the two disconnected parts on my clutch assembly. this comes to me as a huge relief, i thought i was going to have to hunker down for the long haul of repairs. it still doesn't explain the strange noises though...
