Leak from "Shift Rod"

Edit: ok, I finally found it. I'm getting a leak from the Push rod. I found the seal on the clutch diagram, 92050-068. Any tips on replacing this seal?

Also lists part 92049-1041. This one says AL next to it. Which one do I need?

Thanks

You don’t mention what bike it’s for?

You probably won't have room to get a traditional seal puller tool in there, but you can use a GOOD QUALITY curved pick to get in there and pull out the old one. Keep the point of the pick against the shift rod and poke through the rubber part, hook the seal, and pull. Take your time. 

I mention using a good quality pick so there is less risk of having the tip break off in the transmission.
