Technical 1999 Ducato 1.9td motorhome heavy crunch changing to 2nd

[Jimmygti]

Hi guys I'm new here, I have a 1.9td motorhome that seems to have the dreaded 2nd gear crunch, it also has a very mild crunch into 4th

I'm assuming the synchos are worn, is there anything I should try/test before I pull it out?

Any recommendations for buying gearbox parts, a recon box or somewhere that could repair mine? I'm in the west midlands but can take the box out and drop it off within a reasonable distance.

First make sure there is oil in it.
Given the age several on Forum have tried to get gearboxes repaired, parts are getting scarce, perhaps some one on Forum has a recommendation.
