any positive advice much appreciated and many thanks!

I believe they have a bit of a reputation for not engaging forward gear, esp when cold. Reasons not clear.

Check forward cone clutch for signs of slipping, selector mechanism for signs of wear, oil for evidence of overheating and for any reason that may prevent the gear fom engaging properly.

I'd not want to attempt a refurb without a workshop manual

No sorry don't have a workshop manual. They are so simple inside. The replacement parts I got from mit were machined better than what the manufacturer fits inside of the box. They may even have a manual they can send you.
