It is a foregone concluion I will trash the sludgepump. I have started calling it my "poor man's Tiptronic". I think I will finish prepping the Pineapples so I can break them in, whilst installed in the Base Beater.

Have you considered cutting a hole in the floorboard and making like Fred Flintstone? 
It's bound to be the cheapest fix, and as long as you didn't have to do much interstate driving, might prove quite satisfactory...

Update:
Dropped the pan on the sludgepump last nite. It would have been good to have found only SLUDGE; however in addition to the usual expected efferfescence of metallic wear particles; I also found a large quantity of metallic chunks in the filter. The lock-up solenoid also has one of the leads ripped out of it.
I can drive it ALA Tiptronic method, so it will soon be history. I think I will start the beater 5-speed transplant this Thursday night.
