Sounds release bearing to me, but then in an extreme case it could be the gearbox.

The car changed gear ok ...should i try tightening the clutch cable more or is it a box out and bearibg replacement?

I would try the cable first....worked for me.
Otherwise as above,sounds like thrust bearing.

I seem to have fixed it by tightening the cable up further but now i have horrendous vibration everytime i turn the steering wheel....it looks like the sump is hitting the steering rack...now i need to figure out how to fix that

Nice 1. Simple,cheap fix. Try lifting engine slightly at the mountings with washer or two then make a spacer to the required thickness....again this worked for me
