hi, I have a clark forklift (approx 6k) It has been modified and painted a few times and and there is no dataplate, but the transmission is a common one I see on other units. I has a high and low gear and a forward and a reverse. Problem is that when I go into forward or reverse, it will ot engage until I increase the rpm's. It also seems to slip when in gear since it has a hard time going uphills. any ideas what to check would be appreciated. Also, what type of fluid should go into the tranmission. I have been told to use hydraulic fluid. thank you

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.
