Manual Transmission Fluid

~1min read

It is not necessary to check the manual transmission fluid level.

A transmission fluid leak is the only reason for fluid loss. If a leak occurs, take the vehicle to a dealer for service. Have it repaired as soon as possible. You may also have the fluid level checked by your dealer when the oil is changed.

See Recommended Fluids and Lubricants for the proper fluid to use.
