Bent Gearshift Rod

Hey everyone,
I'm just curious how hard it is to replace number 1 in the below diagram.
I was having a leak in my hydro GSR transmission in my 94 Civic EX and I changed the seal but I still have the leak so I got back under after doing some searching and realized how bent it is and that's what is probably causing the leak.
Is it overwhelming opening the case up for the first time? I've done almost ever other thing I can think of to a EG or B/D series besides opening the transmission.
Thanks for the help!
