Hello All. I purchased the shift shaft upgrade kit and had questions on the PVC tube with set screw. Looking at the installation pictures it looks like it tube rests right on top of the seal. The original or oem had a washer and E clip. The E clip prevented any excessive side to side movement. My question(s) are:
Do I put the tube right on top of the seal with no gap? Or do I add a gap between. Would it be better to put the washer back in so that it is between the tube and seal?
Right now I have the tube resting right on top of the seal with the shaft fully extended out. By tightening the set screw, this prevents any side to side. Is this ok and does anybody have experience with this?
I have a 1973 RD350 but I assume it will be the same installation on the later years.
