This part is available from the aftermarket, such as site sponsors. I replaced the part on my '92 last May. You'll want to fix or dim down your PS leak so the leaking fluid doesn't trash the old joint. If you don't know where the fluid is leaking, try checking the simple stuff like clamps and fittings; you'll be surprised what you may find!
You may elect to forego the shift alignment tool; it is fairly imprecise. As long as you know how to engage third gear, you can align it yourself. Also, the linkage should not need to be aligned unless the position of the shifter housing inside the car has been altered.
Detatch the "dog bone" (the part suggested to be changed) and grab the shift shaft on the transmission side, and yank it out sharply until you feel the gear engage. Or, be certain the transmission is in neutral (the coupler fitting will rotate from side to side) and engage third gear on the shifter, giving yourself room to work to attach the coupling. Do the least accessible bolt first. Then move on to the closer or lower bolts; your hand will be slick with transmission lube or PS fluid so clean it off so you don't pre-coat the rubber of the new part.
A friend may be able to help you out by manipulating the shifter/clutch while you are beneath the car.
Good luck; if you need any more help feel free to post again.
Your part number is 7576416.
