I think this gear box can handle the torque. They are rated for 270 nm. Gl275
The rattle is the reverse idler bushing bearing most likely. Chances are the input shaft will be not worn. If you search international forums you will see that many people have tried to remedy this problem to no avail.
I brought mine to a repair shop and was lucky to get out the door for under $500. Just for the input shaft bearing. That did nothing to the side to side play in the input shaft. You wont get out the door very easily under 1k for a simple overhaul and that may still not remedy the issue.
The entire transmission could be brought into specifications as far as clearances and end play go. That requires complete tear down and rebuild.
