Pull dip stick out. Loosen all bolts except for the one rear one. Let drain for awhile. Unbolt last nut, let drain some more. Change filter. Put back together. Put 5 qts. of fluid in. Turn on car, with brake on, run through gears. Turn off car, fill up some more. Repeat until level is at full.
As far as what to use, look in your owners manual.
I'm not quite sure of what you are asking as your typing and sentance structure really sux.

Those instructions are for an automatic tranny. For a manual you just take out the lower bolt to drain the tranny and then close that bolt and take out the upper one to fill it. You will need an oil pump to pump the oil into the upper hole when you fill it. You can get one cheap at any autoparts store. You need to fill it until you get to the level of the top bolt hole so you can tell that its full when the oil starts coming out of the top hole.
I used full synthetic when I did mine. I think it was Mobil 1 or Redline. Check your owners manual for the type of Tranny Fluid to use and then you can find a synthetic oil that is that type.

Doesn't he want the tranny fluid changed...not the oil??
well for the tranny there is a drain bolt near the back of the tranny on the passenger side...open it up, let drain. The car has to be level when filling it up, so make sure to jack up the front and back and put car on jack stands. I usually fill mine thru the shifter...I take the shifter off and fill it up there, it takes three quarts or ~2.75, use mercon ATF.
