Sounds like a box change to me, just check your oil is ok first, i'd run the bus as it is for now and hunt a spare box out for a winter project when the bus is off the road.

Make sure the filler plug will undo before you drain the oil. You wouldn't want an empty transmission with no way of filling it back up. This happened to a mate of mine.
