depends on if you know someone or not, prices vary wildly, i got mine done for nothing but at most a garage should charge no more than 4 hours labour, on average Ł60 an hour

If it only does it when changing gear fast and the clutch is engaging properly (as in not dragging when you select first with the clutch fully depressed), then it is the age old T5 problem of worn syncro rings. A clutch will not fix this.

If the clutch is not dragging when you select first, then the syncros are REALLY fucked

When the car is stationary and you try and select first gear, it won't go in easily, because the clutch is not disengaging properly and is still dragging on the flywheel.
