how do i check my manual transmission fluid? car feels a little sticky putting shifter into gears. the transmission hasnt been serviced in as long as i can remember but i would like to change or check fluid. clutch feels normal and is still pretty new. this symptom was most noticable on cold cold mornings or long sitting. 10-30 degrees and/or sitting for a few days.

Filler plug is on R/H side of transmission with a drain plug at the bottom, fill oil till it starts to dribble from the filler plug,check specs sticker under bonnet for correct oil type.
