<VV> Changing C878 Power Glide gear shift o-ring. How to get the rod off?

[shortle]

If you want to fix your car use the correct parts. Clarks has them in viton. Also, while you are there put a cable "reseal kit" to keep auto trans fluid from leaking. Yes, the cable will leak. Timothy Shortle in Durango Colorado 81301

>>> Hi, my transmission leaks possibly at the Clarks part C878 o-ring where the shift rod enters the transmission. I have a new C878 and I am trying to change it. I have the pan off and am trying to see how to slide the rod out but right now it isn't obvious. See picture.  It seems to resist on the right side of the 'clip' that is on the ribbed rod. I don't want to damage this for obvious reasons. Is there a right way to do this?
