Thanks for the kudos but unless I've got my head in the engine bay I'll only be doing what everyone else is doing - guessing. When you say loss of power do you mean you still have engine RPM but it's not making the same acceleration? I wouldn't think it's the gearbox BUT if the clutch plate centre damper has gone into full fail mode they can make some scary noises (they "clatter" when the clutch is being disengaged) You may need a second person to pin point the location of the rattle (under the tray, the cab, engine bay). It could be the exhaust (broken hanger/mount, baffle in the muffler has let go...) the front splash tray is loose (the metal shroud bellow the radiator) A blocked cat converter will definitely nerf an engine but normally there isn't an obvious noise to give it away. Let us know how you go on this one.
