No one asked how the clutch feels taking off from 1st...? How does it feel? How does it bite? It could be the diff, these do fail...

ok if u take off at first the car kinda rattles... if ur not careful than later its fine after that i could hear that kaaarrrrrr kind of noise till the time it stays in first gear but not all the time just some times specially at cold start and you can hear it loud but it does go away as well, the thing is its hard as some times it works fine and some times its not either its the hint of my clutch about to expire another question how to top up the gear box oil ...keep it level.... thanks
It is the clutch pressure plate so 
To top the gearbox theres a plug at the front of the gearbox, its a hex bung, top up untill it drips out a bit. The box takes 75w90 synth oil

The diff ring gear can fail but it would be spinning when it detached. There would be no noise just no drive. Fixed cheaply with dutch dowels.
Best advice is drive the car. But if gears get strange, or noisy, stop driving. Debris from broken bearings can wreck the gearbox.
