ok, need help bigtime as i want this car on the road next week!! so please help me

its an xr 5 speed on a 2.0 zetec in a mk4 escort. whenever the clutch is up it makes a horrible clattering and squeeking in neutral, when clutch is pushed in or in gear no noise.?!?!

anyway originally it needed a gearbox change as synchro in 1st had gon and kept popping out and it was noisy, so i replaced the box assuming both problems would go... but they didnt, the noise is still there.

had a lok in haynes book and it says something about input shaft bearing?!?!

thanks in advance for any help
