Default gear box going 'bang'

Hi, usual sort of thing, clunking, slipping in and out of gear at low speed, engine 'vamping' when decelerating (torque converter I think), and dreadful mpg - the engine seems to be fighting the transmission - all bad, and suggest A clutch is going, and messing the whole transmission (for instance it reverses at 20 mph - v disturbing!).

My problem is finding someone to do it - esp the cam belt and associated rattles from the front of the engine!

Petty as it is a fine car - and I want to get it fixed!

Any thoughts on who may be able to help? (Unit 20 (?) seems to get a good reference but is miles away from me!)

Thanks
