whats on the clock, and is your car chipped?

The fitted gearboxes are a little on the flimsy side for the car (AR25)

It could be thrust washer - that would be more clunky though iirc.

could just be low / old fluid, thats your best starting point

If high mileage though > 100,000, I would think about getting an AR35 off one of the breakers here and fitting that rather than risk wasting money on a fluid change.  Fluid cost etc is 1/2 that of a 2nd hand box. (about £100)

cheers jimbob its not clunky it feels like a slipping clutch if it was a manual if that makes sense :-? ill try topping up the fluid later and go from there!
