Trans leak

I have a turbo 350 that is leaking trans fluid from the shift lever seal. Is there a procedure to replace this seal.

This was discussed about a month ago. They are designed to r&r from the outside
of the trans. It can be a pain to get out though. Like a tiny rear trans seal without a lip.

I have removed them using a sharp icepick to make a small hole and using another pick that
has a hook on the end to pop it out. Take care not to gouge the shaft or bore hole if possible.

I am waiting for a special removal/installation tool for this same issue. Ordered one from my local Napa Auto. Supposed to make this job easy...
