Thanks all of youz for chiming in on this ! This has been a big help. Not nessarily the news I wanted to hear but, that's the way it goes sometimes.

I have a 1995 with a 5 sp manual tranny. The tranny is very sloppy fore and aft. (lash) Going from on to off throttle in traffic gives me the heebs ! It is going to grenade some day soon. Can a manual tranny from a 1998 bolt in to my 1995? Because I have a buddy who will sell me his cheap. If there is someone out there with some knowledge on this topic that would be lovely !

My 95 has the intermittant lifter tap as well. The last time I changed oil I added 1litre of Lucas Oil stabiliser. It is stringy like honey thinking this might help with the leakdown ... it didnt. It only happens when it's cold then gradually goes away. I'm not going to deal with it now. I had this same problem on an older VW. I have an older Datsun and there are a couple of favorite sites that have good pricing online ; rockauto.com, mrautoparts.com Good luck
