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

[Ignacio Valdes]

The good news: O'Reillys had a viton o-ring assortment.  They also had a
grommet assortment. See picture.
The bad news: I put it all together again and every shift position was
forward. No neutral, no reverse. So I opened it all back up again. I don't
see any problem. Here is a before and after picture of the shift shaft.
They look exactly the same to me. What did I do wrong?
