It's not an allen it's a torques head bolt.
IIRC it's a T-30.

What can't you remove? The pipes?

That drain plug is the same as the one used on the primary.

No!!!!
The drain plug used on the transmission is the same size and type used on the primary...Two different plugs!!!!!

It's just easier to get to the one on the primary to confirm what size torques socket fits it.

You are gonna want some teflon paste to put on the threads of the plug when you put it back to help seal it.
