EVEN MORE Gearbox Help :(

Many of you will already know this and are probably getting sick of my posts about my car going wrong, but I will give background info anyways.....I have recently had to replace the gearbox for the 3rd time after a total 77000miles. It was a reconditioned box fitted around 2 weeks ago. About 1 week ago I have started to hear a noise as if a tin can is stuck underneath the car when accelerating in 1st and 2nd gear. The doesnt seem to happen everytime but happens often under hard acceleration. I will of course jack up the car to search for a can because as it happens, one went under my car on the motorway and its only since then I have noticed it. However.. if there is no can, does this sound like it could be coming from the gearbox?

I have lost all faith in my car now, as the PAS has started to play up, cutting out on the motorway and while parking. Now this noise, I am literally waiting for it to break while I do my 100 mile per day commutes

Any help and advice is very much appreciated

Dan
