Sprinter 312 gearbox same as VW LT 2.8?

[Merc_fintail]

I have a four wheel drive 312 Sprinter on a W plate and the gears are sloppy and crunchy, keeps going into reverse instead of second too!

I would like to replace it or get it reconditioned. Ebay has one or two second hand ones but I get the feeling I will be putting back in, much the same.

There are quite a few VW LT boxes with history on ebay and the case number is the same (902 261 14 01) I'm not sure if the bits inside are the same or not.

My van has a transfer box too. Does anybody know if this could be a problem also?

Thanks in advance. Paul.

Isnt this normally the selector cables? We changed ours and it transformed our truck...

Then again on a W reg I guess its the older floor mounted version? Still could be the selector bushes.

Yes it is the last of the mk1 shape with floor mounted stick.
