Bob the filter is a steel screen. Disconnect the shifter first and check the cable. If you have the twin disc tranny I can scan the manual I have so you can have a copy to find the screen. If you were running it hard you should make sure you are getting proper oil flow as I "believe" it shares oil with the engine. I could be remembering incorrectly.
