Since you had the pump apart there is some small chance that it has “lost its prime”. You can remove the outlet pipe bolts, pull it back and try to get some oil into the pump and see if it will start moving the oil.

The oil in the transmission should be around the same level as the pump so gravity should be feeding it nearly to the pump. You could take the inlet pipe loose and make sure that oil is getting to the pump. I don’t recall that the oil ran out of the pipe when I removed my pump now that I think about it though…so may not help.

These are both low cost, easy checks but can make a oily mess and are in the slim chance end of spectrum of solutions.

Yes you missed the most basic "something".

You cant get pressure if the pump cant build both flow and pressure. You start diagnostics by confirming you have a working pump and you do that at the pump.

yup, you was right. pump was foulty. there was one plate missing and that replace plate what i made was 1mm to thin. i fixed that and now e have pressure and hydrolic now working as should.
