Your right, there is linkage and they have bushings that get crunchy and fail. The linkage actually may have been broken free. There is an upper and lower arm linkage to transmission and that part may have gotten corroded and is swinging free. Usually the only way to tell is on a lift to access those hard to reach areas.
