Hi
We are located in Scotland and have a 2FD30 diesel forklift with automatic transmission, when we engage either forward or reverse the machine will only drive if on a level surface, as soon as you are on a slight incline or running over a step or obstruction the engine revs but the drive stops, you can still feel the drive engaging when you decrease and increase the revs but it doesnt go forward or backward.
Can anyone suggest what this might be ?
The transmission fluid is full and clean looking.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
