I have a question about checking the level of the manual transmission fluid in my car. I have looked all over the engine, but do not see a reservoir for the fluid. Where is it located?

That is correct. You have a fill and drain plug on the side of the transmission.

Basically, the way to fill this is you put fluid in the unit until it runs out the fill plug and then let the fluid finish running out (on level surface) and then put the plug back in.

Below is the detail on this. They are not the best pictures but basically the fill line is at the bottom of the fill plug.

Please let us know if you have other questions. Thanks
