We recently investigated a clunking gearbox noise under load and found this.

A broken diff gear
To drive the car did not sound too bad until you tried to accelerate hard.

If driven with a 'light throttle' the noise was not apparent as the teeth continued to mesh normally somehow? - if you floored it it the diff started banging as the teeth missed/jumped out of mesh.
The magnet in the bottom of the box was also a large mass of metal filings

The car was standard - I suspect that the customer had allowed a wheel to 'spin up' on a slippy surface and then driven onto a grippy surface.
This can 'shock' the diff teeth - I experienced this on my rally cars when coming off a loose surface back onto tarmac
