Default Gearbox knock

Oh dear...

2.0 diesel manual.

I managed to stall the car today while in 4th gear - I went to change down into 2nd but missed.

Everything seemed ok. Car restarted and drove back to my house. While I'm was waiting for the gates to open I heard the knock.

The sound is similar to my rattling lay shaft on my terrano.

The knock is intermittent and quite growly and loud but disappears when the clutch pressed. No problems selecting gears and no noises when driving. Really knocks when I turn the engine off but nothing on startup.

Anyone any suggestions as to what may have come loose?

Thanks

Dave
