Anyone had an input shaft job done before? Approx cost?

Firstly take it to a work shop and get a 2nd opinion.
Don't just take my word for it.
Where here to help, but there's only so much you can do at the other end of a key board.
Shafts are available for a manual box, but yours is auto isn't it!.
such a job requires great deal of knowledge.
may-be go to a reco box with nomad valve body at same time!
Rodney @ aust auto etc or what ever it is?
relies your sort a in a pickle, but can't help further.
good luck with it.

Yep cheers Robo - I actually think it's probably a torque converter issue - collapsed bearing or similar. When the atf is cold it is more viscous and supports the tc. As it heats up it thins and given I suspect the wrong fluid was used and may be a petroleum based fluid or at least partially it heats up to the point of becoming a gas and massively reduces the heat dissipating and lubricating qualities a fully synthetic would give. That along with the additional strain my stuck auto lock hub was putting on the system is likely what led to a bearing or Tc clutch failure although I'm not getting any slip and I believe lock up is still occurring so more likely the tc or bearing.
I'm looking into replacement parts as well as whole trans. I know I can get it out and back for $800 cash plus parts so depending on how my end of year review goes next week and the attached incentive payment will dictate next steps. Otherwise I've learnt a shedload about the RE5R05A removal, rebuild and replace process from reading the entire service manual as well as everything available on the web, I may end up doing it myself. Regardless if the box comes out I'll be improving the valve bodies.
Appreciate the heads up mate! Cheers

Probably should worry that the noise has stopped suddenly and relatively back to normal....

you changed the fluid?,
And its an auto right !
it may of been a valve/switch oscillating.
could of been a bit of muck and now flushed threw to pan hopefully
