Could also be a bad trim pump valve.

There's a problem I have seen happen on several TRS trim cylinders. The bolt that holds the piston on the end of the ram shaft loosens. The piston has several check balls in it with springs on them. When the bolt loosens the tension comes off the springs which are holding the check balls closed. If the bolt gets loose enough the springs and balls will actually fall out of place. If it gets to that point it will start tearing up the cylinder and piston inside there.
