Gearbox and overdrive seem to be working ok but on a recent run heard a brief metallic ping like a bolt head flying around the bell housing just as I pulled away in first. Drove home about 300 k with out problem but did hear the ping again but only occasionally in first. Went for a run the other day and there was noticeable whine from box when on over run but none in drive. Whine was similar to tyre noise on concrete surface and more pronounced when box was still cold.

Any ideas / checks / tests before I pull the box out.

You could drain the oil and see what's in it, if anything, it may not be the gearbox.

Sometimes a universal joint will make that sort of noise also on drive, check the joint under the hand brake.
