I am attaching the entire process for your review to see if you are missing a step.
Also, I included the exploded view of the shifter that may help identify what you are missing. Let us know what questions you have or how you make out. Thanks

Thank you! Have one more question though, what is the part between 16 and 17? The guy I bought it from really did a number on this thing and cut that part and needs to be replaced. Thanks!

Just so I am clear, this part that I circled? If so, that is part of the spring pin (16). However, I am not confident that you will find just that part. You may need to get the shifter assembly or find a salvage yard that has one and will let you take just that piece.
