Hope everyones doing good :)

My stilo on the other hand is not...

I think the gearbox has had it...
Need some advice if anyone can input anything.

For a few months - the clutch release bearing as been whiney and chattery when the clutch pedal is fully pressed in, however - knowing this and also noting that i do not need to fully use the clutch pedal to engage gear etc (bite is near the top of the pedal when released) i've been able to keep the bearing at bay.

That aside, there was a small leak on the gearbox - very tiny and the oil was topped up regularly - was due to replace the seal when i finally got the clutch done.

Two days ago, noticed a chattering that matches engine speed only when deseccelerating in gear (engine breaking)... no strange noises when actually putting load on the engine / gearbox moving forward - but when i've backed off the gas and the engine is breaking whilst in gear i hear a chatter / knocking...

Had a transmissions specialist look at it today - he drove it and said it needed a new box and clutch straight away, i knew about the clutch but could of got a few more months out of it (the bite was strong, just a worn bearing). im a bit worried as to how the box has ended up stuffed and as to wether it will last till next wednesday (another week) until the specialists near my work can get on with it... bare in mind a 20mile round trip a day to work, 2miles motorway... im worried.

can anyone shed anything on this?
