They dont have a dipstick for a manual trans, never have. You fill it until it runs out of the fill hole, usually 2 qts. is the capacity

In the 2008 model (manual) is the oil gauge for the transmission the brake fluid container in the firewall?

Uhhh, no. The container has nothing to do with the tranny. I presume you're looking at the fluid reservoir for the hydraulic clutch.

FWIW I have never owned a car with a manual tranny that had a dipstick for checking the tranny oil. Furthermore, I don't think such a feature exists on any modern car. [:)] The oil level is far less critical in a manual tranny than in an automatic.
