Can anyone recommend replacement oils for the diff and the gear box, I can't remember what I used some years ago in my old s2k. Ill route the pic out of my diff pretty shocking what came out of it!

It doesn't help the Opie oils only recommends mineral oils for the S2k diff. They probably work just fine but I want a synthetic in there for peace of mind.

Hope you get it all sorted 
Never heard of a faulty input shaft bearing on a s2k. It's a common fault with the civic gearbox's. Had to get it replaced on my EP2 civic earlier this year. Also sounds like you've had enough reassurance but just incase, mine knocks from neutral to first when stationary too.
