Gearbox troubles

Hey guys,
On my way home today my gearbox decided to die on me, 1st and reverse wont engage at all (pops out of gear when tryign to move) and there is a noise coming from what sounds like the gearbox when under load in 2nd, 3rd and 6th. 4th and 5th seem to be going ok so far. When engine breaking the car is all good, only under load it has troubles. What could the cause be, clutch, gearbox, something else?
Also how much are replacement clutches and which should i look for?
Thanks guys

Our gearboxes are pretty fragile, how many kms are on your gearbox?

most people ive been talking to think its the clutch, as it does go into the gears fine, just when engaging pops it out or makes noise, i hope its the clutch over the gearbox
