And I would prefer 3/8" drive if possible. I don't have a suitable 1/2" drive torque wrench.
Researching ... Done.
Just bought this stubby 8mm from Snap-On,thanks Ron Stygar.
And this 14mm from Amazon. Looks about as stubby as they get.
Now if someone can recommend a hand pump to get the Royal Purple out of the bottle and into the trans.
And what's with the fancy top on the O.E. diff oil? I'd rather not open one yet. Does an easy-squirt tube pop out or something? At $80 a liter it oughta jump out of the bottle and climb in the fill hole by itself.

I've found a better way to change the transmission fluid than using a hand pump. Go to Home Depot and buy about 3-4 feet of clear plastic hose--about1/2" diameter. With your car raised and level, run the hose from the engine compartment to the transmission drain hole. Put a funnel in the hose on the engine side and use gravity to fill the transmission. You can get it done in a couple of minutes. I usually have my wife pour the fluid while I'm underneath making sure everything is going in as planned. Quick, clean and no pumping. BTW, I use Synchromax too with great results.
