Wont shift into Forward

Lift started to struggle a bit shifting from Neutral to Forward. Yesterday It just stopped completely. Still works just fine in reverse; lifts, shifts, tilts ect. Kind of new to Forklift repair I have only ever worked on Electric Clarks. Any help would be great, where to start, tech drawings, possible problems. Engine runs great, no other issues.

I have checked/topped off all fluid levels, Tested the switch (lever) at the plug.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
