Gearbox noisy was created by Jimny-Cricket

Hi, my name is Jamie. I am new to this group. I was lucky enough to be given (by a good friend) a silver 1.3 - 2006 Jimny. Love it. I also love all the other Jimny drivers giving a wave as we pass by. Unfortunately, I am being told the gearbox needs replacing. When it is in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear it has started making a grinding loud noise but stops when engage the clutch.
My friend informed me he had before, stripped the gearbox and replaced a bearing. I need to get a second opinion really. He also changed the clutch cable quite recently.
I was about to change both the king-pin bearings as they're (on both sides) leaking grease. This I hope will also fix the death wobble when hitting 47 mph.
The only other thing I have replaced was the throttle body housing switch, as she kept dipping below the idle and stalling. I got a £13 off the market switch, as Suzuki wanted £490 for it!
This hasn't worked, keeps stalling. Any suggestions would be so much appreciated. Thanks.
