clutch n gearbox 2 different components.....so why change both if u say slip clutch?

juddering at clutch release indicates contaminated clutch friction surfaces.....so a clutch change, check for leak ( which started the contamination in the 1st place ) and possibly a flywheel surface skim maybe in order.....

gearbox change? unlikely if the above is your issue.

get a relaible and trustworthy mechanic and then u lose less money....
