Saab: MY2002 9-3 Engine Mounting

MY2002 9-3 Engine Mounting
Hi,
I've got a 2002 9-3 SE Convertible and at the weekend had a problem
where when setting off there was a clunking sound from engine bay,
this got worse during day and ended up with a large bang and very
nasty crunching/grinding noise.
The problem is that engine mounting bolt had snapped and the large
noise was the engine lifting up and then crashing back down - I dont
really know what the grinding noise was. Saab dealers are going to fit
a new bolt. I was just wondering what other damage could be caused by
the problem as it was happening to a much lesser degree for a week or
two before it finally broken. Could the gearbox/clutch have become
damaged?
The crunching noise from the intial point when the bolt snapped was
very worrying.
Problem for me is that warranty runs out fairly soon and I dont want
to have to pay for any damage caused by this incident.
Thanks.
Paul.
