Overshot ramps and dropped car!! HELP!! 900

1991 940 Turbo. So, we were putting on the rear IPD sway, and were just reversing the car onto some ramps. We had blocks under the front tires when to stop, but somehow when my friend reversed he must have gave it too much gas and he went over the ramps and dropped the car. The frame landed right down onto the highest point of the ramps. I am not sure how much of the impact was absorbed by the tired or the frame. Now, the sways feel great and the car seems to be running fine except for a couple of quirks. When i engage the car into reverse or drive from park, it makes a clunk and kinda jumps. Also, randomly when driving, usually when slowing down after not braking for a while, i hear a clunking/rattle, not like the one i hear when shifting gears, but almost like metal on metal. But im not sure what it would be because it doesnt rattle or do anything when i go over bumps. Please someone tell me what might be wrong. I really hope i didnt **** anything really serious, hopefully just a transmission mount or something. While driving the car shifts through the gears smoothly, its just when engaging into R or D that it lurches and clunks. UGH!!!!!
