Only thing different now, other than the noise, is more fluid leaking on the floor. That is what lead me to consider the seals and o-rings for the pump. Which in turn sent me down the T/C road (noise)....

Re-reading this thread I get a strange feeling that perhaps things aren't what they seem! The problem at the beginning was one of gears not engaging and now there's a problem with RPM related noises. Is there anything else that might be transmission related going on?
I had a vac leak in the rear driver's side door lock actuator, but I replaced that with a new one and no vac problems at this time.
Here is a quick timeline:

Adjusted vac due to a quick 2-3 shift; fixed the problem
Starting off there seemed to be a slight hesitation before the transmission engaged
Started noticing fluid on the garage, small amt.
Changed fluid and filter (not TC, I know, idiot) and noticed foam that Stretch posted pics for me.
Seemed to be running okay
Started to lose 1 + 2 occasionally, not constant
Whining noise shows up a couple of days later at about 2000 rpms, not constant
More fluid leaking than originally
Whining becomes constant
Driving very gingerly and seems to shift okay and gets me around locally, 1-2 miles if needed.

As far as my thinking goes here, I'm no expert, just trying to think this through instead of just throwing $$$ and time at it in hopes of a solution. I do have access to another vehicle for 10 days or so coming up in a couple of weeks, which would be ideal for this project. That is why I was asking about length of time.

As for the thread you are talking about I assume you mean the 722.303 one =>

Any suggestions on where to get the proper manual?

It was both posts actually, the 303 and the Monster DIY.

One of your problems might be fixed by changing the B2 piston (if that link I posted is correct). A rebuild might be overkill.
I'm kind of relieved to hear that a rebuild might be over the top.
