Looks like a traditional dry clutch but oil soaked. Who has the best deals for the clutch parts?

I pulled the oily clutch pan and it looks to be a dry clutch. All the dripping oil however leads me to believe the rear main is leaking so I'll add that to the list. I'm working on removing the cage and floor pan off of the forklift which will make unbolting the clutch/shuttle/trans/ebrake real easy ( I hope)

I did a bit of research and it appears the trans is a BW T98 and the "shuttle" is a BW L2 which is used in many ag rigs such a log skidders. So what exactly does a fluid coupling do? I assume there has to be a fill/drain somewhere, what fluid does it use. How do I tell if its functional? Since I'm disassembling to do the clutch job, I want to address everything else while I'm at it. Thanks!

So, looking at the pic below, I see a typical looking torque converter style dust cover. I was thinking that the fluid drive assembly was completed sealed as it contained fluid and the flywheel/flex plate rotated within that sealed area. Is that not correct? Is what I have here a fluid drive clutch? If so, is the clutch disc itself dry?

I recently bought a "Philift" forklift with a Chrysler flathead 6. It specs out to a 1951 - 1953 B - 3 - D or B - 4 - D. Its not currently running so I'm in need of ID'ing various parts of it so I can order parts and start using it. The prior owner said it has a "shuttle shift" along with the regular shift (not sure if its a 3 sp or 4 sp) and that it needs a clutch. I'm hoping someone here can help ID the bellhousing/trans/shuttle unit and recommend a place to get the clutch parts.
