Hey Idahomudder, the fuel tubing is generaly used to replace the 2 springs on either side of the shift lever on the shifter linkage. I recommend cutting the fuel tubing just a bit longer than the springs to give that much more cushion on the shift lever. The tubing allows less of a shock on the lever if a shift from forward to reverse or visa versa was inadvertanly engaged, but it will not excuse a shift before the truck stops. You will still need to completely stop the truck before shifting.

Also adjust the end point stop on your radio so the servo is not pushing or pulling too much on that lever. Easily forgotten adjustment that WILL help keep the lever from breaking..


Hope this helps...Have fun!!
