Default Need help identifying drivetrain sound

I got this sound while driving last summer. Havent touched the car since. I know im looking at pulling the whole TT down.

But i need to know what wrong so i can get a fair price at the shop.

I hear most of the time that i need a new gearbox but the car drives and shifts just fine…

Sound comes straight under my stick and increases with throttle.

Sounds like a torque tube rebuild is in your future…not cheap !!…you should still get a proper diagnosis.

I did drive to car to nearest shop. He couldnt tell exactly what the problem was. 6000 dollars with clutch. Felt a bit much at the time. Thinking about importing the parts from the US to save some cash.
