Sounds good.
Commanly what happens, the forklift is used like a track machine and operaters do alot of pushing of pallots in the forward motion. This will ware out the forward clutch packs and leave the reverse intacted. The only issue I dont understand is, when the machine gets hot, the pressures should drop as oil is bypassed in the packs. But I have seen it both ways, where at cold start, for some reason the oil pressure is not enough to operate the truck. Maybe its a weak trany pump or torque convertor, in which case both for and rev will be affected. Perhaps one direction more than the other due to pack ware.

Fact of the week
In Germany, the 9th of November is sometimes called Schicksalstag, the "Day of Fate" because it has been the day for several major historical events, including the horrors of Kristallnacht in 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
