clunking/chattering noise coming from trans area

so ive been trying to narrow my problem down and seems like its the input shaft bearing. i get this really bad clunking/chattering noise from the trans area when im driving. well at fitst its not noticeable but after an hour of driving it gets really bad to the point i cant take off from a stop or reverse. ive changed all mounts all around with competition mounts from mazdatrix. and drive shaft cause my u-joints were just bad. so if someone can help me out you will be rewarded in your next life i promise!

I got this too,and I am about to check the Main Mount that comes down the center of the trans mount..that PIN.
The bushing is a little flimsy and the on;y way you can check it is to take the nut off.
If you can grasp this description of it..It looks like a CUT PIE on the inside with the pin directly in the middle.
Those "cuts" are actually rubber,so if they are worn the trans pin just flops..and makes noise.

PS: Post your Car series when you ask for Info.It makes the replies flow faster!(thread up top of this section with more info)
