Thrust bearing.

I have seen the ad. Nice leather interior!

The issue is almost certainly the input shaft bearing on the manual gearbox. It could last a long time, or fail quite soon.

is it a new gear box jobbie or is it a new part and labour at what cost ???
thanks for the quick reply bud

It should be fixable, TBH. I would guess £500ish depending on who does it/what needs doing and how well it is done. Box in/out will be £200ish, plus bearing(s) plus labour to strip and rebuild the box.
