How often should the manual transmission fluid be changed? I have an 04 GT with about 45K miles on it. Nothing in any of the maintenance books mentions manual transmissions. Does it need to be changed? I notice the rear axle fluid is ok until 150K miles!

Manual fluid needs changed much less often than auto, I would say it needs to be done every 60k.

I changed mine at 30k and 110k, the only reason i changed it was cause it seemed like it hadnt been changed in an awful long time.

I just changed mine @ 53K, but the manual called for doing it @ 60K. Used Royal Purple and I'm very happy with the results.

I changed mine at 102K miles and it was still nice and red. Change it with every clutch change.

Whether manula or standard I've always changed the tranny fluid at 30k intervals.
