I think the last time I went to the drags did it in. Feels like I mighta wrecked a motor mount. A few of those hard launches with the FWD wheelie hop probably was tremendous on the mounts. It feels like the clutch chatter is more pronounced now, and if I "pop" the clutch doing a burnout I hear a bang sound, which is probably the engine nailing something. Any ideas for diagnosis?

Start the engine. Raise the hood. Blip the throttle by hand and watch the engine/transmission movement. There should be a bit of rocking motion on the mounts but no bang sound. If you see exaggerated motion and/or hear a bang there is probably a broken mount. Close visual examination may identify the victim. The familiar "rubber tube listening aid" technique may be helpful.
