I hate to be the "Debbie downer" but I can see the wear on the slipper pads, and it's bad. The ring that you replaced holds them tight to the swashplate. It may be working now, but it will be weak and likely won't last long. Should have just replaced the pump with a good used one.
That was a super nice 982. Should have kept it. Can't buy a new one for any amount that it takes to rebuild one.
