I cleaned he screen. It was really dirty and the fluid was pretty black. For a while the forward and reverse just banged right along like a new one then all of a sudden now just the high works most of the time. Low works some of the time and reverse sometimes when cold.

Thanks a bunch. I ordered a gasket and I can get the spin on filter at the auto parts store. Is it best to clean the cartridge screen or should I just look for a new one? I hope it just has a cold and is full of snot...
