Here are pics with the neutral switch and kickdown lever removed. What
do I need to do from here to get to the seal?

As far as I know:
Drop the oil pan and the valve body, then you will see the other side of
the lever/shaft system. You need to pull it out from inside the tranny
case.

I didn't remember to get a new seal when I tried to rebuild my -66 C4,
but I later noticed there's an o-ring size space between the case and
the lever closest to the case.. So I put one there :)

Not sure if it works or not, haven't driven the $%(#$^#)%&#* since then

Just a suggestion but a good repair manual (paper or CD) might be very
beneficial. Mine give me step by step instructions for a lot of the
stuff I mess with.
