Make sure you have a 14mm hex socket for the diff plug and something sturdy to suck out the old fluid.
For the trans you will need a stuby 8mm hex(less then an inch in total length) on a socket or a short L-shaped allen wrench. You can use a 7mm or 8mm deep 1/4 socket(on the end of a LONG 1/4 extension) on the end of the L-shaped allen for extra leverage to open the fill hole. It won't be that tight anyways.
The clearance gap is tight between the upper trans and the car's body/tunnel area. IF you have a 1/4 inch ratchet and a stubby 8mm hex, you will be ok. I would also have a traditional 8mm L-shaped allen on hand just in case.
