Question Transmission problem

I just bought a used 1995 truck 5.0 liter E40 D transmission.
Transmission was working perfect. Now sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.I figured how to make it go by either revving up the engine till it builds enough pressure or easing it until it engages. As long as I am riding everything is all right. When I stop it might work right.If i keep a little gas to it it will go right away. The transmission does not slip, any ideas?

My first idea is to check the trans fluid level. Low fluid could cause this. So could a damaged forward clutch.
