Looking for some help here. The unit is a 1985 Hyster H80xl2. I still don't understand if this is a manual transmission or has an inching pedal torque converter set up. It has a forward/reverse shifter as well as a speed and neutral shifter on the left side of the steering column. It acts like a clutch that won't disengage. The far left pedal will stay down unless manually pulled back up. Neither up or down position of the pedal will release the (clutch). You can try to put it in forward or reverse and it will grind unless the unit is turned off. It can be started in gear and moved. I can't figure out how to add photos here but will try to figure that out. The (clutch?) pedal is to the left of the column and the brake and throttle are to the right of the column. Thanks in advance for the help!
