forklift won't go forward or backwards

I checked the cylinoid on top of transmission it is getting power when you switch the shuttle shift to forward on one side. and power to reverse on otherside. so I figured it wasn't a power or switch issue.
the transmission was ran low on fluid at the beginning of this problem added about 3 gallon of fram hydrolic fluid to get the level right. noticed the fluid had some air bubbles in it on dipstick not sure if this is normal.
it moved a few times till parked then it took a while and a few tries to get it back to warehouse.
There's a pump on the left side of the engine. with a pickup screen next to it. I was wondering if this could be the pump that is bad or is it in the transmission.

push in the valve spools manually. if no movement you have hydraulic problem. there might be a pressure test tee in line on left side that runs at angle down side of transmission. mine runs 20-50 psi which may be low. mechanic told me 200 might be good.
pressure regulator is plug on left side of shift valve. has cap, shim, spring, pointed plunger. add shims to increase pressure.
we changed our solenoid valve because of bad coil and desire to eliminate that as a cause of the problem. if it doesn't get full 12 volts it doesn't work. amp light coming on dim when shifting indicates a draw somewhere. ours requires a solid snap of the switch to shift. new switch is like $600. I made a small floor plate with the accelerator to be able to get at valve while running. sometimes put the full floor plates on and it will quit working. that one I can't figure out.
