Hey J

Just rebuilt a TH400 for my project sounds like low oil pressure to me I am no expert but thats the common thing between all the symptoms you can get to the pressure relief valve with the pan removed, worst case the pump is worn out. I found the TH400 easy to work on and parts are cheap if you fix it yourself, good luck

cheers Paul
