Taylor Forklift won't move much

Hi all! Bear with me...This is my first time on here. I have a small Taylor forklift that I started having trouble with. It doesn't want to move forward and backward. You can put it in gear and feel it shift but when you rev it up it barely moves. It was working fine last year. I just changed the hydraulic filter. It also has a hydraulic pressure gage that looks to be reading high. Finally, it is sputtering fluid from the breather on the transmission fill tube. I was wondering if perhaps some valve is stuck?? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks! Matt

Sorry guys but we do not monitor ths board for messages. On an Allison trans the most common problem when oil is coming out of the fill tube or breather, the level is too low and the oil starts to foam. This pushes it out.
Idling in neutral - pressure should read abut 175 psi.

Fact of the week
In 1923, French tennis player René Lacoste was promised a crocodile leather suitcase by his captain if he won his next match. He lost the match but won the nickname "the crocodile" which he had sown onto his tennis attire. Ten years later he launched the first polo shirt and Lacoste, the first brand to feature a logo on its clothing.
