JIMBOBLY:
sounds to me that the box hasnt been shimmed up properly,these shimms are to stop the shafts in the box from going backwards and forwards,this can be caused by the box not being tight enough,i.e not a thick enough shim,or to thick,and to tight,then loosening off after a few miles,if the noise is coming from the box as you say,but it does sound like either thrust bearing,or maybe the shaft that the bearing sits on,could be worn bad,causing the bearing to tilt slightly.

if the box was tight it wouldnt cause this, it has to be shimmed less to create excess backlas to cause " chatter "  in the box at the engine runs
i put money on being the release bearing

so you think even tho i fitted a brand new thrust bearing it could be that?
