My 2006 Mazda 3 with manual transmission does not have a transmission dipstick. How can i check the fluid level? and thus how can I refill it? I have checked the manual and there is no mention of where to check for it nor how to refill it. It only mentions the kind of fluid to replace it with. I also searched online for information but I can't seem to find anything that has a straight forward or clear answer.
2008 Mazda 3 Manual Transmission Fluid

Virtually no cars with manual transmissions have transmission dipsticks, because the only practical option is to drain and replace the fluid, not to top it up, and you wouldn't normally even think about changing the fluid until 100,000 or 150,000 miles.
Transmission oil is usually much thicker than engine oil - for example 75W85 or 80W90 grade, not 0W20 or 5W30. Unlike engine oil it doesn't get burnt when the engine is running, so unless there is a visible leak the level will never change. Unlike auto transmission fluid, it doesn't get hot either - in a manual transmission the heat when the transmission is "slipping" is generated in the clutch, not in the gearbox.

However, if your maintenance schedule specifically calls for a flush, or your transmission fluid has been ignored for too long and picked up metal particles or other contaminants, a flush is the way to go.
Changing the transmission fluid (and filter, if equipped) typically is a maintenance item, and should be done on a regular schedule. On some vehicles, flushing the transmission is part of the maintenance schedule; otherwise, a flush is only needed if debris is detected in the fluid.
Changing the transmission fluid is typically a scheduled maintenance item. Still, transmission issues can happen any time. It is more common to see high-mileage vehicles in poor condition because of neglected maintenance. Performing factory maintenance on schedule is the best way to help prevent transmission failure.
An anti-wear and anti-scoring ingredient blend, transmission oil has an excellent thermal oxidation resistance. For instance, heavyweight hypoid gear oil or even automatic transmission fluid can be used in manual gearboxes, as can normally motor oil in others. Above all, transmission oil is primarily responsible for lubricating the hypoid gears in automobile manual and automatic gearboxes.
The transmission fluid level should be checked between service intervals on a regular basis. Leaving the transmission fluid in your car to dry out might cause it to shift incorrectly or not at all. The lack of lubrication in the interior elements of your transmission might also cause damage. Transmission fluid leaks can go undetected for a long time, even if you hear noises or see other signs.
I have a 2007 Mazda 6 same issue won't shift past 3rd and giving code that the shift solenoid is stuck open I changed fluid like I was recommended and unplugged the battery to reset the computer after doing so the car Will run like a dream all the way to 5 gear then when you come to a stop the light comes back on the at light and the engine light after lots of research I found out it's prolly the transmission control module that only Mazda or racing shops can get Mazda charges 600 for the part it's located under the dash under steering wheel if you take your car to Mazda they will tell you it's the transmission and charge you 3000 to fix it I found the part at a race shop had them order it and paid 160 I will install today and should fix the problem hope this helps someone
I just purchased a 2007 mazda 3s automatic/manual. It won't go past 50mph. Took.to mechanic replaced the vehicle transmission speed sensor and gave put 3rd and 4th gear codes. Shop said new transmission. :(
Pull out the transmission fluid dipstick. The transmission fluid level should be between the lower and upper markers on the 65 degrees Celsius markers. Add transmission fluid if the level is less than the lower marker.
Wait for your car to cool down for around four to five hours. Then add transmission fluid into your Mazda 3 using a funnel after pulling out the transmission fluid dipstick. Keep adding transmission fluid until it reaches the area marked 20 degrees Celsius.
Turn on your Mazda 3 once the transmission fluid is within the lower and upper limit marks of the 20 degrees Celsius area. Check the transmission fluid level once more. Make sure that it is within the 65 degrees Celsius mark.
A Mazda 3 with manual transmission can produce a grinding sound whenever you shift gears. If you experience this grinding after stepping on the clutch and shifting, then this could be a sign that the clutch requires a replacement.
Check the transmission fluid level. Add more if it is less than the recommended level. If this did not get rid of the noise, then it is certainly because of dirty transmission fluid. Dirty transmission fluid should be completely drained and then replaced. 2ff7e9595c
