It's definitely the returnless style, as there is not a return line coming in on the pump (nor could you install one). The only issue with going and getting just the pump motor to install is the fact that I I think you would need the original pump body, which would require the retainer ring in the tank, which had to be cut out to accomodate the new pump- so now it's non-existent. I'd also hate to buy another pump, as I just replaced this one to the tune of $196.00 (garage price).
I know Ford has a 1 year warranty on this pump, but if swap it out, the same symptoms will probabaly occur.
Well, for right now i'm just living with it, shifting as fast as i can out of 3rd gear. Oh well...
