    Seeking Specialty Torque Wrench

    I am slowly getting ready to do the transmission pan on the 2015 and I know from my experience on the 2016 that this is the perfect tool for torquing the bolts, because it's small enough to get in there. BUT, the torque wrench I purchased was crazy expensive and the gears in the head lasted...
