Loss of power steering below 750 RPM
OK, here's a weird one...Two things happened today, one right after another:
1. PS went out while turning into a parking space. Confirmed that PS assist goes away after engine drops below 750 RPM (like when coasting to a stop sign or making a low-speed turn). Above 750 RPM, PS returns. No donuts, no high-rev maneuvers other than highway driving a couple days before. Fluid level is OK. Yes, I know to take it to the dealer, but thought I'd check here first for something I might have overlooked. 2. Clutch started to chatter on takeoff (right after the PS failed on me). It's never done that in the 5000 miles I've driven the car. Doesn't chatter in any other gear. Just at low speed, low RPM in first. Now I definitely have to rev a bit higher when releasing the clutch in first from a dead stop to make the chatter go away. Could they be related? Yes, I know to take it to the dealer, but thought I'd check here first for something I might have overlooked.

Low output on the PS pump...pump replaced. 15000 miles, hopefully everything else holds together!
