The advice I need is whether or not it is worth doing the gearbox and AWD repair as I'm guessing this is going to cost more than the car is worth, or should I just sell it?
Thanks.

Only you can answer that.
I spent £4K on my 2005 V70 T5. No way was it worth £4K but at the same time, I wasn't spending in it to sell it. The way I saw it is buying another car of similar size, power and extremely high spec would have cost a fortune. Let's say I had to pay £400 per month to finance a new car - that's £4,800 in the first year alone. For less than that I got my car back to decent condition and it'll hopefully see me right for another good few years yet with just standard maintenance now.
If it were mine I'd go for it but everyone is different.
