Question Trying to get back in

Morning everyone. I'm new and need some help getting back into wrenching on my own bike.
My current problem is ( from what the HD Mech said ) is my "shift seal " is in need of repair. learned that after replacing my primary cover gasket and new fluid a couple of days ago , went for a ride and looked down and was still leaking.
Happened to be at a Chili cook off in Jamestown Ca. So asked the HD Mech. for a'lil help, he was too.
Are there any tips & tricks that can make this task a"lil easier to do.
Thanx

I'll say it before everyone else does..
Start by buying a shop manual for your bike.

That's the best tip you'll get for this job. Get the OEM manual, not clymers or haynes or anyone else.
