Yes, agreed and those devices that interrupt the flow and pressures are the items that I hope to identify! This is a relatively simple unit over all and I expect the final problem to be simple and relatively inexpensive to fix. I must say, there is “not” a good trouble shooting flow chart for this transmission in the factory manual.anything that can starve the charge pump can cause this problem. check the line that feeds the charge pump to see if it collapses. could also be in the swash plate servo valve.
