stupid question. but is the engine shaking? or the car vibrating at all? maybe it is a mount for the engine or transmition. posibly clutch componants? let us know if its shaking/vibrating.

hmmm, Sounds like the Clutch gave way. or tranny. Also look under the car and make sure your Driveshaft is intact. heh.

Or it could be like mine and have a wiped rotor bearing. That causes the rotor to slip and knock on the rotor housing.

press the clutch and see if the noise goes away.
