Default serious banging from engine and no gears. help

Hi Ive only had my jdm ap1 a few weeks and already have a problem that has made the car undrivable

Basically I noticed it was notchy going into gear on the way to work and when I finished my shift and got back in the car and found I couldnt get it in gear.
After turning the engine off and selecting gear again I was off and all seemed ok just a little notchy

Later that night it happened again, pulling away while turning left the engine was knocking/ clunking hard a similar sound to what a welded diff sounds like.
The car then wouldnt go into gear randomly so I limped it home.
Every pull away from a stop the engine was bucking and hard to get into first gear.

My mate said the engine was twisting to the side with a lot of movement.

I'm thinking its a dead engine/box mount that's throwing my selector out.
I feel its hopefully just a mount as over the last couple of weeks when I let off the gas I hear I swinging kinda clonk

The cars drifted to so a violent transition may have finished the mount

My psychic diagnosis is a blown clutch plate.

Well I'm about to pull the box off to have a look.

Jacked the rear up and my prop has play in and out.
I started the engine with the car in the air and popped the clutch in and out. Every time I pop it out there is a very loud knocking.
Seem where the prop goes into the box.

Worth mentioning that if I rotate the rear wheel and it will go into gear fine then if I put it back into neutral turn the wheel around spittle more then try and put it in gear it doesn't want to go in
