FNFAST VR4

Hey all, my car started making a strange noise from the engine/gearbox last week which has since been tentatively diagnosed as the input shaft bearing.... I posted on mmc.org.nz asking how much I am up for to replace just this bearing, or alternatively get the entire box rebuilt.... or whether I am just better off to just get a second hand box.
I had a quick look under the bonnet and it appears to have the same code as my flatmates evo 6.5. Are they the same box?
I am also going to get a new clutch while I'm at it as it has had a fault that developed not long after I got it where the clutch would slip for a while, but after a few sharp changes it would go back to normal.... I was told this is most likely a fluid leak? Is there like a common fault that VR4's have like this?
Also just wondering what sort of clutch to get for it. I'd like something a little bit better than standard, but not extreme as at this stage the car is pretty much standard.
Also, where do you guys recommend for getting any gearbox work etc? I can remove and reinstall it myself as I know my way around a socket set... lol
Any advice greatly appreciated :happy:
