Is drain and flush also done on manuals?

Changing the manual transmission fluid is no more complex than changing the engine oil:

1) Unscrew FILL plug on transmission first to make sure you can refill it later.
2) Unscrew DRAIN plug on transmission.
3) Wait until it's done gushing, drizzling, and finally dripping.
4) Put DRAIN plug back in. Torque with torque wrench.
5) Fill with 75W-90 GL4 or 75W-90 GL5 gear oil (CHECK YOUR MANUAL/DEALERSHIP FOR TYPE) until it dribbles out the fill hole.
6) Put FILL plug back in. Torque with torque wrench.
