Bro -

Does your fluid smell burnt ? Does it whine when you turn the wheels back and forth? Did you recently add any fluid that could be the wrong kind? Could any garbage have gotten into the fill ? Some garages that know they've got your business will "engineer" problems thinking you'll bring it back to them. When did it start? Those pumps do go bad sometimes, and if you don't have the right tools they're a bear to change.

Just check the basics man, and good luck. Could be a lot of different things.

Later,

Jim
