today I released the top from the pushrod levers and the top itself is as free to move as a free thing on a free day - so its not the top binding. I operated the switch and the binding is still there. Clamshell jerks and does not close properly.

Next I will disconnect the clamshell - though not sure what you mean by your last para. If I pry the ball end off will this have the effect you talk about?

Then if the transmission operates correctly am I looking at the black hydraulic rods being bad? Is there a check to confirm that?

Thanks
