So no forward drive but does pick up reverse. Apparently it was serviced & they neglected to put enough fluid in the box, I dropped what was in there & chucked fresh in, no go. These are adjustable band yeah as opposed to aw71 etc? Any tricks to an easy fix or is it swapsies time...

replace it with an AW71 and enjoy better gearing and more reliability
Also IIRC BW55 == AW71 without 4th
the ZF box of the same vintage was the adjustable band one, which was why you would kill the ZF box by reving it in neutral a lot

Cool ta. Manual if I'm swapping I reckon. Got everything m46 but pedal box here, that's 300km away...

Yep sounds like it's dead to me if you changed oil and filter

Sure did, it drops into reverse fine & moves as it should backwards, it's hard to go everywhere in reverse though...
