False. It does not use transmission fluid. It uses gear oil.

Sorry. Thought they were talking about the front diff, not transfer case.

I just purchased a 3/8 drive stubby Rachel from O'Reilly that might do the trick, I will update later. Low profile rachets may work as well. The clearance is tight yes but a low profile or stubby should do the trick.
