Default Rear Engine Motor Mount HELPPPP

My rear engine motor mount bolt recently(yesterday of post) backed out so there's no bolt in the rear mount..... And now the engine naturally tilts forward as Rpms increase And since theres no bolt going through the t bracket through to the mount when I shift and pressure comes off the engine the t bracket thumps back on to the chassis/subframe it does this all the way up to 4th to 5th and 5th to 4th now my main issue is ( if you ever drove stick you've stalled before... Now you know that feeling when you don't stall but it almost stalls and it's like it's gripping or rubbin on the teeth of the clutch then you get through that and your Rollin) it does this all the time now unless i launch higher but only since I lost that bolt, do you guys think it's related to the engine mount bolt being gone... Like if the tranny isnt sitting still to let the clutch engage And disengage properly, I've been looking for a place to jack the engine up to get the t brackets pressure off the chassis to put the bolt in I read that the oil pan will do?? Is that correct... Last question should I continue to drive her or park her ???? ......

Sorry for such a novel, just trying to squeeze all the info out and assistance or recommendations are appreciated

I personally wouldn't drive the car with the above explained hardware missing, also that mount happens to be one of the most critical mounting points of the engine to chassis.

I noticed you stated launching, and smashing through all the gears with it in this condition?!?!

It is imperative that you source that bolt and reinstall it, also with the prolonged use of the car with it in this condition, I would suggest check all other mounts due to the excessive play created by the missing hardware.
These bolts just don't back out either unless it was to short, or installer error, hope you don't find more damage.
