I have a Warner Swasey forklift with the below running gear. I parked it a couple of weeks ago and went to use it the other day but could net get the clutch to engage. It worked when I parked it although it had been less and less functional as it got warmed up when doing lots of gear changing. I saw where some folks try to "release" the clutch with kerosene or brake cleaner. I did a video of the clutch arm to see if someone might know if it looks normal...that I can't upload. Essentially the clutch arm swings freely about 3" of throw.

Anyone have experience with the clutch plates sticking or similar issues?
