3000 lb. Electric Forklift Drive Problem

hey guys. i am hoping for a little troubleshooting help here. we have a yale electric forklift that we use in the shop (model: ESC030ABN24SF077 s/n: 438915), it is a 3 wheel stand up rider. the lift function works fine, it easily goes up and down, but the drive function doesn't consistently work. in order for "drive" or "reverse" to engage, you have to jiggle the handle assembly. there is no steady progression either, once it kicks on, it jerks into gear at the fastest speed possible. once you let off, you need to giggle the handle again for it to engage. also, the problem worsens in warmer temperatures (if that makes much sense). here is a picture of the assembly that i am looking at, if it helps: thanks in advance
