Hello guys

I'm just a simple mechanic from Belgium who has a small home shop if you can call it that way. I have a Nissan EH01A15U small forklift, I believe early 90s.

It started with having no reverse. Some fidling with the shifter linkage seemed to do the job. The next day I had reverse nor forward. A lot shifting (and the engine warming up?) later it worked again but I decided to change the transfluid and clean the filter. After this it still worked, but today again no movement. In the short period I had the Nissan I always had to give some revs until it broke free as to speak.

After some searching it seems like the culprit could be the inching/declutch valve, I have 2 brake pedals. The left pedal moves a pivoting arm on top of the trans, about 90 degrees. When disconected I feel no resistance at all in this arm.

Any advice? I'll probably will need to remove the top of the trans?

Fact of the week
Funerals in Spain typically occur within 24 to 48 hours of death, whereas in other European countries they wait one or more weeks. This rapid timeframe is a cultural norm grown from the past need to manage the warm climate without modern embalming.
