Hi. This is my first time here and wanted some advice so the local mechanic doesn't rip me off.
I have a micra on a K plate (93) one of the first bubble shape ones, that has recently developed a strange noise. It's only while travelling in gear and sort of sounds like there's a steam engine running?? gears all change fine apart from 1st being difficult to get in and in 5th gear it kicks out sometimes but not always. The mechanics i called gave a diagnosis over the phone and said the gearbox was screwed and needs replacing but is that right or could it just be low on gear oil?? I've not checked the gear oil as I don't know how to.

Thanks for any help you can give.
