Does anyone know where the fill is on a Manual trans V6? I read the manual but where it is pointing I don't see anything, this might be a dumb question for that I apologize.

Damn this was meant to be in 2005+ Talk not GT, but I'm sure you GT guys have the same manual trans fill location

On the passenger's side of the transmission there's a plug at about mid point.

So you would have to be under the car the fill it, correct? One other question, the car takes ATF (Automatic transmission fluid)?

It uses atf. You could use something like Royal Purple syncromax synthetic fluid too. I've found the easiest way to fill it is to get under the car, remove the plug, remove the shifter boot/bezel, remove the rubber dust boot and run a short hose down through the center console right off the oil bottle. Otherwise, you'll need an oil squirt can because it's tight under the car for pouring access. It will hold a squirt more than 2 qts.

My car has two plugs on the passenger side a lower and a higher one, I'm assuming the higher one is for the fluid add and the lower is for the fluid drain?

The drain plug is on the bottom in the center of the tranny, not the passenger side.
