Default whats popping!!!???

i was driving home from work last night and as engaged the clutch and switched gears something starts popping under the car...at first i thought my driveshaft broke, but i was able to drive home...so everytime i engage and disengage the clutch to switch gears something pops really bad, and i lost a screw somewhere on the way home..anyone have any ideas what could be wrong??

i just got a new clutch like 2 months ago, RAM HD, i dont know if that has nething to do with it

Its prob your TQ arm, the bolt that holds the clam shell up top came out and its banging/popping on the floor, I had the same issue Last spring. Use some loctite.

that sounds like a broken trans mount. did you put a new one in when you did the clutch?

i bought one and just never had time to put it on, but i got under the car today and noticed that the tranny mount is pretty wore out, and the bolt that holds the torque arm to the tranny is gone so the torque arm is pretty much hangin loose, which is what the problem is!

thanks guys!
