Anything to consider before changing my tranny fluid this weekend?

I'm planning on changing the tranny fluid over to Redline MT-90 this weekend. I was told the capacity is 3 quarts, luckily I picked up 5 quarts at the atuo-x this weekend to be on the safe side. Are there any other things I should take into consideration before I begin or is it just a strait forward as every other transmission?

I couldn't seem to find the place where the fluid goes in? I think this is where it comes out? NE1?

so the fluid has to be pumped out rather than just drained?

good call on the 17mm hex key, I don't believe I have one of those yet. Other cars I had I could just drain, but I haven't inspected the TT too closely yet. do you drain and fill through the same hole?
