If the gears have started to cut the housings, then it's time for a new pump. That sounds like the case here, as you suggest that it works better at higher RPM's. Otherwise, there could be a malfunctioning relief valve or flow control valve. As Hurst has suggested, there could be a problem with the motor as well, but I have my doubts in your situation. The motors have a lot of small parts that make them look complicated, but in reality they are quite simple, and there isn't a whole lot to go wrong. To pressure test, you would need to "T" into the output line from the pump, then run the wheel over to the lock to make pressure, and see what it reads. This being done with warm oil. However, if you know the housings in the pump are worn, then that's as good a bet as any. I'd probably just buy a new pump. HTH. Rod
