CLARK - Forward/Reverse Issue

Hello all! I'm Mark. New on here so bare with me. I have a Clark forklift I picked up and need some help. Forklift starts, runs, mast goes up and down, tilts forward and back as it should. When I put it in forward or reverse it barely moves. I pushed it with another forklift thinking the brakes were locked up but it rolls freely. It seems to move more in reverse than forward if that info helps any. I tilted the mast forward and checked the trans fluid it was a little low so I topped it off. The linkage from forward and reverse seems to move nicely. The main brake pedal is hard. The inching pedal moves in and out fine I opened the cap and it shoots fluid out when the pedal is pressed.

That's about all I've checked.

Torque converter? Transmission clutch plates? I would love some ideas to check into. I'm handy if I am guided since I've never taken a lift apart and put it back together..... yet!

Thanks I'm advance for your help!

The same problem with you with a CGP 25h......but also sometimes goes like crazy only forward...... doesn't stop.......
I am thinking about the filter below for the movement.

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.
