They used two different pins in the lever. Some were split pins, which =
can be driven out in any direction. Others were taper pins, which have  =
big and little side. They must be driven in the correct direction. I =
have replaced these with the tranny cover off and the transmission in =
the car. The O-ring is in a groove in the case on the outside and can be =
replaced after removing the lever. You have to be gentle when driving on =
the lever as you don't want to bend the shaft. The key is deciding which =
way the taper is going. Clean each end good and decide which end is =
which. A good punch of the correct size is a must. Can be done if you =
are patient and careful. Don't get in a hurry and bang the hell out of =
it.

it looks like you have to drill out the pin on the operating lever and =
pull the out of the case to access that O-ring.  I felt lazy that day =
and decided to live with it.  I use cardboard in a drip pan.
