I got an idea on how to redneck my Brake servo line.... I took a Drill to the part I broke off, used the original nipple still in the vac hose and put it in the new Drilled hole, I used a ton of electrical Tape until I can afford a new Servo line... Here's the Expected Result: The transmission would shift better. The unexpected Result..... my car now shuts off with the key.....I'm Glad it works... but Confused as to how I fixed what I thought was something completely unrelated.. any thoughts on the matter? And, When I replace the Servo, will there be any washers I need or just order the line from here and replace it normally?

Hi
Glad it worked. Your shutoff works with vacuum so when you fixed the leak it has enough vacuum to work as it should .

No, there are no washers or O-Rings etc...

use a 17mm and 19mm wrench at the vacuum pump end, and a 17mm at the brake booster.

I did see a post where JB weld was used for a temp fix.
