 Don't replace the pump yet! It's much more likely in the rack but you found
out the answer. Keep flushing that P/S system! Other people have recommend
an additive I think it's Prolong. I prefer to use a turkey baster and just
keep changing the amount in the reservoir about once a week for a month or
so. Use the Valvoline Syn P/S products from Autozone. They are water clear
so you can see how much debris is in the fluid. Keep changing until the
fluid stays clean. Then see if the stickyness goes away or is reduced. If
not you may need to change out the rack.
