Replace or repair the gearbox I'm afraid. Getting a second hand replacement will be the cheapest option.

I have an 02 plate Td4 with a good gearbox that’s going for scrap, but it might be too far for you to come.

Try www.1stchoice.co.uk - they send your parts request to scrappers around the country.
Or Gentlemen of Salvage on ebay.

I’ve used both, and all went well.

Pop a new clutch and slave in there while you have the box off.

I can recommend GOS. I had a good gearbox and linkages from them and their shipping charges were reasonable considering where I am.

Changing the gearbox is a bit of an epic task though. If you need a garage to do it the labour charge will be steep.
