In a word, YES!

Well, I removed the transmission to reseal the front pump using DIY articles from here and when I removed the pump, voila!

This is where my knowledge of this situation comes to a screeching halt, and I humbly bow to the expertise and wisdom of the forum.

What now?

I see three options:

Rebuild
Replace w/ rebuilt
Replace w/ used lower mileage trans and try my hand at a rebuild with no specific time constraints as a matter of learning and keep it for a later date.

I am leaning toward the latter for cost purposes, but I do not have a line on a reputable source in South Florida and I can't imagine that shipping is inexpensive, these things are heavy!

Stretch, would you tell me what part of the lubrication system differs on the .303? Can I still use it and swap the tail cone from my current trans? I'm just thinking of options if I have trouble locating a lower mileage .315.

I eagerly await your replies.
