Any forklift mechanics here?
Sounds like the same as mine.
Here's a photo of the pedal arrangement. I can see the selector rod on the side of the trans housing moving when I push on the pedal, and exposes shiny rod.

There is an adjustment rod from the pedal to the trans linkage. The adjustment rod isn't locked and if I'm reading it correctly lengthening the rod would result in less "disengaging" when you press the pedal.

The filter on the trans I've managed to get a cross ref for, and its the same as a Ryco Z411.

Found I had a filter that fitted in my odds and sods filters box so avoided a trip down the road to get one.
Messed with the inching valve adjustment a bit, no change.
Disconnected the linkage completely, no change.
Removed the valve, stripped it down - looks fine. Full travel, no debris
Reassembled it, tried to refit it but the damn pedal support kept getting in the way so after an hour struggling with it I removed the pedals to get some access. Should have done it right at the start before removing the valve !!
Valve back on, fired it up - no difference :(
I think the next thing is to pull the selector valve body off and see if there's anything obvious inside.
Edit - photo of the inching valve and got a coat of paint on the engine cover..

This is the engine serial number etc from mine. No "A" on it, and I didn't find any obvious reference online to a S15 engine....

Not so much distracted as just haven't had a opportunity. Mainly been busy with work or jobs around the yard although I guess picking up the twin head drill press on Saturday was a distraction :)
Definitely wished it was going when I unloaded that. Would have saved me an hour messing around with the gantry and slings etc.
Yesterday was a hot gusty nor-wester and too dusty to open it up. Shaping up to be the same today...

Pulled the valve body off the top of the trans tonight after the wind died off...
Not much inside - just the clutch packs and a couple of gears. One pack for FWD and one for REV.
The REV pack is the one on the right (ie front of the trans).

I poked and prodded at the valve body with an air nozzle to see which ports went where.
Identified that the 2 ports with the o-rings at the LH front corner of the trans (top corner in the photo) are the ones that go to the clutch packs.
The LH one is the FWD clutch, the RH one is the REV clutch.
Putting the air blower in each port I could make the appropriate clutch move.
I had a look over the valve body, removed the pressure relief valve spring and checked that the valve was free to move.
Removed the lower half of the body, but nothing of interest. Going to be a PITA to make a new gasket for it to match the galleries/ports.

There are couple of blanking plugs in the galleries that go to the clutches, so I'm guessing I could put a gauge on those to check the clutch oil pressure. Probably a bit pointless unless I can find out what the pressure SHOULD be.
My main concern now is how much free space/play there should be in the clutch packs. Without actually having measured yet, I'm guessing there would be at least 3mm in these ones. More than what I expected.
