MASSIVE Pothole....damaged engine/tranny mount??

Hey guys,
I nailed a MASSIVE pothole. Actually, it was a sewer grating....road was newly paved, and it seems they left a very large drop between the surface of the road and the top of the sewer grating. I was cruising along smoothly, and then KABOOM! I thought the car was gonna break in 2. (I also have 17" wheels and an eibach/bilstein suspension combo).
Surprisingly, the wheels don't seem bent. However, now I notice when I pull away from a stop, there is a thud. Feels like the engine/tranny may be loose and shifts when I press the gas from rest. (Car is an AUTO trans). Could that massive jolt have damaged an engine or tranny mount? I can't think of anything else that it could be. Any ideas?
thanks guys!
(PS, anyone ever have luck making the town pay for stuff like this?)
