Gear box rattling like a rough bearing sound?

My gearbox has always has a little rattle from the input shaft but I started it yesterday and it felt like the clutch was slipping and the revs would drop and bounce when I pull away, 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th are fine but 1st seems like I'm trying to pull off in 2nd and its a 2.0lt injection it shouldn't really be stalling from 1200rpm, aside from that the clutch seems a little bit knobbly on the way back up like its sticky, I'm sure the clutch thing can be sorted with some brake cleaner and an air gun but my gearbox is the main prob, id change the oil but I dont have the handbook saying the correct oil(Peugeot gti s16) and I noticed something leaked after it stalled out in reverse, I really need this car cause if it breaks im ****** cos I cant afford another one, and seeing as im just being marked on my mechanics level 1 exam and need a job I dont think any mechanic will hire me if my cars half broken. &&&&&&& its the best car I've ever had for £700 aswell(first car but I have an Astra aswll), ?? What's my best option? Can gearboxes be opened and have 1st gear changed along with the input bearings ? Cause ill get a few mates together and change the thing myself as this cars a limited edition

    Hi so how long did you expect this old car to last forever. i suspect it has come to the end of it's time.
