I changed my transmission oil...

Is this the right tool to remove the oil filler and drain plugs?

So you want to drive a Porsche but you dont want to pay $120 for a transmission oil change? Maybe you are driving the wrong car, try a japanese car they are cheaper

well, i learned along time ago that most mechanics halfass when they work on someone elses car so if i can do it myself i will. i'm very anal about maintenance, i service my duramax every 3,000 miles, service my quads every other trip to the desert, service my turbo subaru sandrail every other trip and service the generator in my toyhauler every 20 hrs and i save alot of money doing my own work and i know its done correctly. some people have more money than brains . i have a little of both, i thank god i started with more brains than money though

Can someone tell me definitively what two tools are needed to remove the drain and fill bolts on a 2000 Boxster S with a 6-speed trans?

I've got the 16mm triple square with the hole and a 17mm allen. I've heard there may be a different tool I need.

Additionally, where the 17mm allen is needed, is there a clearance issue? I ask because the allen socket I have is about 4" long. If it's for the drain, no problem. If it's for the fill and the clearance is tight, I'll have to cut the allen tool shorter.
