Clutch and or Transmission malfunctioning?

Hello rotoriites., something happened to my 7 the other day.

1. Car was idle, shifted into 1st, foot off the clutch, gas on the pedal.

2. There was this horrible sound. It sounded like I was going to drop my trasnmission or the clutch was going to blow. Like : Ka-thunk!! Ka-thunk!!.

3. I removed pressure fom the gas and hit the clutch, once I hit the clutch, again... KA-THUNK!

Is my clutch slipping? Is my transmission hosed? Man, I don't know. I've never experienced that before. I wish I could be more descriptive, but thats all I've got at the moment.
