It is probably an LT77S (reverse up next to first).

They are a bit renowned for being a weak box, an R380 (later model) is a bolt in replacement.

Before you go spending $.. take off the center console and the rubber seal and inspect the top of the gearbox. It could be that something is jamming the gearstick. I am reasonably sure the LT77 has bias springs like the R380, and a little piece of metal sometimes breaks off in the R380 and jams the action of the gearstick.
