mmm how do u know its gone? is it making noises and ceases when you depress the pedal?
to remove/refit a new one.. its removing the gearbox... so you may aswell wait til your clutch is fried before you do it (if it lasts that long)

Agreed. Do it as part of a clutch-replacement.
(A clutch 'kit' will contain a thrust bearing).
And replace the clutch fork and pivot ball too.

it makes a noise when the clutch is depressed and is silent otherwise

it is a big job. just replace the clutch as well when you change the bearing, save's you from taking the gear box out twice. also recommend get an OEM bearing from mits. (other bearings get noise over time from experience)

thanks guys
I had this in my Mirage. It thought it was the clutch release bearing too. Turns out it wasnt.Colonel said:
After changing the clutch and bearing the noise persisted. After sourcing a new box from EKW, a week later I had to remove it again to swap in the new one.abyz said:
I made a special trolley using two scissor jacks to sit under the box. This allowed me to lower and lift the box into the precise position. Just by myself it only took 15 min to line up and whack two bolts in the bell housing. Also I left the crossmember on which helped steady alot.
The spare will later be fitted with Cyborg/Asti gears. In the next few days I will get around to cracking it open for an idea of what is really wrong with it. The new one meshes so much smoother.
With an awd its an even bigger job. Im not looking forward to pulling out my brothers Legnum box to reco the auto. Get some high temp grease as the amount given in the pack is only just enough. As said, replace the fork and pivots if possible, and grease them up well (and where the slave pushes onto the fork)

so by the sounds of things its easier to pull the gearbox out than the motor. and the only clutch fork i could find was $275 
surely this is wrong!

no it doesnt make a noise until the clutch is pushed in... now its suffed but. really difficult to push in and sticks once its there. undrivable
Then its not the thrust bearing.
I think it sounds more like a clutch issue now and most probably the springs have collapsed in the clutch plate and bits fallen loose inside the pressure plate. Whatever it is, you're gonna need to take the gearbox off and have a look at it.

thanks guys, ill let you know how it goes. probably be a while though cos im goin overseas soon
After reading this I turned my stereo off yesterday and noticed I have the same thing, when in gear and accelerating or decelerating I get a nice whine, depressing the clutch makes the whine stop. I believe that is a good indicator that it is the thrust bearing yes?
Is this the same gearbox you had notching problems with a while back? What did you end up doing to solve this?
When you depress the clutch and it stops, this is while moving yeah?
As a thrust bearing is engaged when the clutch is press,(depending on condition) it will make a mild rattling when out and a grinding noise when in.
