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.

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!!
