You may have some extra room if you remove your transmission dipstick tube also. I would try that.

The lines are hard to get to...but still possible on a v8 car so you should be able to get to the ones on a v6 car also.

A 1/2" Crows Foot on a 3/8" extension works great.

These [crows feet] make those trans lines incredibly easy...
