Drive take-up

Perkins 4 cylinder diesel H50H. Starts first time but needs a minute or two of revving to get forward or rearward movement. Once it gets moving, it's fine. Is this likely to be a clutch or hydraulic issue?

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, the forklift has sat in the corner of my workshop since! I used it for a while today and left it idling. After a few minutes, I went to move it and had no forward or reverse motion, despite the revs. I will have a look at the oil level and control valves.

check the control valve on the transmission, sounds like a directional solenoid or spool gummed up and has to warm up a bit before it starts working.
