I had one small tube that went from the valve body, bent at a 90 then went into the case once I re-installed the valve body, but that was the only one. is there another?

No, that is the one. The reason it came to mine is the first Glide I installed a brake on nearly went through my shop when I tested it because I left that tube out and when I tested the brake it went forward instead of holding.

That tube You're talking about is for first gear,it goes to the low band servo.Without it and the brake applyed the car should move backward.I never saw it happen but thats what I'm thinking.Bill.

You're correct Bill. I've never seen it either, but I'm certain that's what it'll do.....

Ok guys, got it figured out. Theres a gasket that came with my rebuild kit that goes on the rear pump........it doesnt go there!!! It blocked the fluid and was not letting the reverse engage. Goes back ward good now. Thanks for all the help!!
