The auto has the lever for the shift linkage and there's no way the gasket is coming off with it on.
I'm hoping I don't have to disassemble the column, otherwise it's staying and I'll buy a new seal.

Use a flat head, it should just pull right off. i just rebuilt my entire column and that seal came off pretty easy.
