I have a 1996 Johnson 115 Oceanrunner with the Fast Trac Tilt and Trim System. T/T system was working great earlier in the week, but when I went out there earlier today, the T/T motor would just spin both directions, without lifting the motor. The manual release valve is tight, and I?ve already checked that the fluid is clean and full. If I manually lift the motor, tight the valve and then lower it using the t/t it seems to move it, but not smoothly, and more like tends to drop it short distances. It will not lift the motor at all on its own ( with the manual valve tight), but the t/t motor runs well. Is this an issue with the seals inside of it, or will the whole assembly need to be replaced? Thanks!

It could be the manual release valve. See if you can borrow one from a dlr and try it. Otherwise it could be the coupler between the oil pump and the t/t mtr or a bad valve body.
