Yes. And, for what its worth, I bought a 3 piece set of Allen sockets (1/2" drive) from AutoZone.

And, the first time I removed my drain and fill plugs - it took a 2' pipe nipple on the end of the breaker bar to get them loose. Since then and every time I reinstall them I use either Teflon plumber's tape, or a dab of "NeverSieze" on the threads. Since using the tape or NS, I only need the ratchet wrench and the socket to service the transmission (plugs).
