I'm replacing a shift tube and I'm having problems getting it set in right. I got it seated once but I couldn't get shift out of park any idea on what step I'm missing or do you possibly have a manual I feel like I'm missing hooking something up whenever I'm putting the tube in. Any help is appreciated!

You will need to step on the brake pedal to get the shifter out of park, can you send me a video on what's going on so I can help you fix it? In the meantime, here are the instructions from the manual to help. Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
