Ok so finally getting round to sort this gearbox/flywheel/bearing issue I have. At idle you can hear a very slight random knocking from the gearbox area, when you shut the car off it gives off a rattle as the engine comes to a stop.

It still does it when you shut the engine off with the clutch pressed in which makes me think its not the gearbox and more the flywheel/bearing. The gearbox works perfectly, no issues at all. It doesn't affect the cars performance at all.
