    A Ringing sound from the gearbox

    Hi Guys its been a while since i posted last.
    I am getting a ringing sound from the gearbox when the car idles , but it goes away if you increase revs to 1100. A bit worried?
    In fourth gear there is a quiet whine and in fifth the gearstick jumps back (but not out of Gear) when you lift off of the accelerator.

    If i needed to replace the clutch what else can be done at the same time, cars done 170k and i will be doing the belts/water pump soon so a engine out is a possiblity.

    Can anyone advise on parts and time scales to do this?

    Audiman will prob know what this is straight away but possibly could be the release bearing on the clutch
