Glad we made it home as the last 200 km i couldn't engage 2 and 4 anymore without grinding noise . So we drove in 1,3,5. +4 from '89 , Rover M16 engine, i suppose a LT77 gearbox ? Perhaps something in the shift mechanism as 2 and 4 is pulling the stick ,so pushing on the rod to the box ??? ( reverse stayed OK , also a forward move of the stick as 1,3 and 5 )

I bet it is not your box but the rubber mounting grommets on your extended remote. They have perished and when you pull the lever back for 2nd and 4th the bottom of your remote crashes with the prop shaft. Had this on my car. Talk to Keith at BHM and they will sell you replacement polyuthrethane grommets for about £40 if I remember correctly.
