Does anyone have a pic of where to check manual transmission fluid for a amateur DIY'er? Any other tips on checking would be appreciated as well!

Transmission Fluid Level Inspection Domestic
Inspection Procedure




Raise and suitably support the vehicle; ensure that the vehicle is level. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
Clean any dirt from around the fill plug.
Remove the fill plug from the transmission.
Check that the transmission fluid level is even with the bottom of the fill plug hole.
Add Dexron®-III transmission fluid, if necessary.

Notice
Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.


Install the fill plug to the transmission. Tighten
Tighten the manual transmission fill plug to 27 N·m (20 lb ft).

Lower the vehicle.
