I drove my car pretty hard yesterday just trying to have some fun.
Dragged took fast turns and all the fun stuff.
Afterwards I park my car at a gas station, turn the car back on and something is stuck. I put it in reverse it won't go and when I hit bit more gas some huge metal click noise is heard. Put it in first gear same thing happens. So I turn the car off and wonder a bit and make my bois push my car a bit and let it roll back and forth. Turn it on and its not stuck anymore, but once I got on the main road and let go of the gas there is this clicking noise like ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta but not as loud as before I couldn't hear it if I had some music on and i press gas and it goes away. After letting go of the gas and put it out of gear and as I'm slowing down the clicking sound slows down as well and once I'm at a halt the noise is gone. What the hells wrong w/ my car now??? Clutch or transmission. Let me know, thanks.
 
Uh....come again hah. Not really sure what CV joints and what the tripod is. More detail please, and thanks.
 
I've asked around somepeople say it might be my throw out bearing is messed up and I haven't changed the tranny fluid and that might be it and also haven't fixed my master clutch cylinder cuz its leaking fluid. Let me know if it could be one of those.
 
I'd say it is your clutch master cylinder. That would be the reason your having a hard time getting in gear. It's also the reason why it makes the metal clunking noise when you think your in gear, but your CMC isn't building enough pressure to let you be in full gear.

The other noises, I don't know. If the loud tapping noise is coming from your engine, it is most likely your engine if your still on the stock lifters. Our cars always make that noise at random times, mostly in the low rpms.

Don't procrastinate the replacement of the clutch master cylinder, it will save you an $80 towing fee. It can be fine one day, and totally shot the next, it's happened to me before.
 
When my clutch went it had an aweful chatter, but not metallic sound. Also when my cv's went I only heard them on turns, I went way to long with them out, they completely broke on the lift at the shop. Close call.
