If I didnt have enough I'd get it. Lifetime warranty so if they break you get a cheaper usa one than buying it outright

I started working on my cars when I was 16 in HS and got a 100 or so piece set for around $100. I do 99% of the maintenance, repair, modifications on all our vehicles and now have probably well over 500+ pieces for automotive repair only. So if you're planning to do a lot of automotive work, I'd recommend starting with a higher count and size range (both drive size & socket range). I haven't shopped for complete tool sets in a long time, but having done all the repair/maintenance work I've done on our cars in over 2 decades, if I we're to do it all over again, based on the fact I have had to purchase & supplement the sizes and tools I needed over the years that weren't included in my initial set plus the fact that I have a multi layer drawer tool chest. I'd buy the 300+ piece sets that are bare tools only/no case and put them in my tool chest.
That being said for $60, you can treat this as a starter set and look for a deal on a 1/2" drive ratchet and maybe 12mm - 27mm range 1/2" drive shallow and deep sockets, plus a 30mm, 32mm and 36mm assuming you have a foreign car. The larger socket sizes will allow you to do axle/hub, drivetrain and suspension, fan clutches, some oil filter cartridge caps, etc. If you have European cars, you will also need torx, E-torx, star and hex drivers plus other odds and ends not standard in most mechanics tool sets.
you can take apart and reassemble 99% of a Acura/Honda with 8mm-22mm.
As for if this will work for your transmission fluid change, it depends on what make/model your vehicle is. If you have a Honda/acura The transmission drain bolt on Honda's is usually just a bare 3/8" ratchet, no socket size needed,just the 3/8" ratchet head into the bolt head. Fill bolt could be the same, or 15mm-24mm depending on make and model. If it still has a dipstick, you just fill through the dipstick and remove the drain bolt.
If you have a Euro car, or a truck, you might need hex sockets or something larger than the 22mm this set provides. Plus they might be torqued and heat cycled on there where a 3/8" ratchet and socket won't give you enough leverage, or tool and socket strength to break the fill and drain bolts loose.
