Gear box or clutch??

Got a little bit of fun for you guys lol...

So I've been having this problem with when going into reverse sometimes the gears crunch only sometimes though so took it to mechanics today and he said yes definatly needs new clutch..

But about 30 minutes ago when putting into first and driving off it had slipped out of gear a couple of times and made a big thump.. it felt like it wanted to slip out of gear on 2nd and 3rd too ..is this the gearbox or the clutch?

Before this guy slaps a clutch in it check out the slave cylinder. Make sure it isn't shagged. It's a common issue. If it has leaked fluid but you'll need a new clutch anyway. 

If it's the slave make sure you put a billet one in there not the oem Ford one.

How do I check the slave cylinder? Or should I ask the mechanic to check it before putting a clutch in

You'll have to pull the box to check it.

That's a gearbox problem if it's jumping out of gear, get your box checked while its out of the car.
