After this nothing. Now Ive checked the linkage ,ok ,the pump seems to work fine since the cooler line was gushing fluid when opened up for pressure at line..Now its a question if this can be replaced while the trannies on the car?

Have you got a 722.1 in your '83 CD or is it a 722.3?
This thread (mostly) has 722.1 based information.
In any case - in almost every case - if you can measure transmission hydraulic pressures you have the best idea of what is going on / going wrong. If you don't / can't / won't measure hydraulic pressure =>
If you have a 722.3 I'd check the governor for damage before removing the transmission - but you are clutching at straws a bit here. You are better off making the effort of making some measurements.
If you have a 722.1 you probably need to remove the transmission if you have no forward or reverse motion. In this case I'd expect sheared splines - but really all I can do for you is guess! Again you are better off making some measurements.
