Have a leak at the seal area on the shift shift. Anyone ever change this out

Year and model is helpful, and yes, they can be changed out. Takes a bit to get to it but does work.

Just do not recommend using the sheet metal screw method to remove the seal. The tolerances are tight and you risk scoring the shaft. Don't ask how I know. Lets just say I am now looking for a speedi sleeve to fit the shaft.

Thanks for the reply.  I have a 2007 RSV that I just changed the slave cylinder and while I was doing that I noticed oil leaking from the shaft seal. I've read other people's comments about this job and they mentioned to check this out before closing cover up. Well I ordered a seal and I was hoping someone had replaced this easier than what the manual said. Thanks again for your comments.

Thanks for more comments on this subject.

Another solution is to park by the Harleys, then no one will notice.
