Probably of little help, but the ratios of the gearboxes for the 2.3jtd, and 2.8jtd are the same.. See table in eLearn here. Most probably the gearboxes themselves are identical.

Thanks very much that may give me an option

Hi. If your problem is indeed within the gear selector mechanism it should be fixable. However, these gearboxes also have a known failure mechanism where a small spring in the 1/2 synchro mechanism breaks and jams the gearbox into gear, usually second. As you can imagine, a specialist full strip down and repair is costly in both labour and parts. A good used box may be the best option, especially if you are able to do the box removal and replacement yourself. Final drive ratios might differ slightly depending on whether 15 or 16 inch wheels were originally fitted, but I have no detailed data.

Thanks for the info any idea where I might get a strip down and rebuild manual. As I haven’t done a gear box for about 35 years, so a bit rusty
