Manual transaxle lubricant level check
1. The manual transaxle does not have a dipstick. To check the fluid level, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands. On the lower front side of the transaxle housing, you will see a plug (see illustration) remove it. If the lubricant level is correct, it should be up to the lower edge of the hole.

A Check/fill plug
B Drain plug
2. If the transaxle needs more lubricant (if the level is not up to the hole), use a syringe or a gear oil pump to add more. Stop filling the transaxle when the lubricant begins to run out the hole.
3. Install the plug and tighten it securely. Drive the vehicle a short distance, then check for leaks.
