Default WTF is up with my clutch

I had ported CNC 243 heads and a TR224 112lsa cam installed on my TA a few months ago. They pulled the engine from the car for the install. After the install I noticed that when I shift from 1st to 2nd it seem to engauge then completly engauge a second or two later. When I am 6th and give it some gas there is noise (like chatter) sometimes.

Yesterday I was driving out and it sounded like I hit a turtle or something and it flew up and the under side of my car. Then my clutch was feather light BUT shifting perfect (NO lag). I thought damn maybe something was not installed correctly when they hooked back up my transmission to the engine and now it is back inplace.

Then later in the day I was coming back from a diaper run and it sounded like droped a set of keys in my bell housing.

I don't know what to think. The car is shifting fine now (better than before) but I am worried something is wrong. I will have plenty of time to drive my car the end of this week since my wife is off work.

Just looking for some insight. I thought my throughout bearing was going at first but this is weird. I know I am due to change the clutch fluid soon when the clutch gets feather light, but I have never had anything like this happen before. Any ideas tech....

I would be worried about the noise inside the bellhousing if that's where it is.
If so you need to pull it apart asap & inspect it. maybe a bolt backed out fell out etc...
