Where is the dip stick located on a 1998 ford explorer sport 5 speed Manuel transmission?

The 1998 Ford Explorer Sport, with a 5-speed manual transmission, does not have a dipstick for the transmission fluid. Manual transmissions typically do not use dipsticks; the fluid level is checked by removing a fill plug (often located on the side of the transmission case) and checking the level of fluid at the fill hole. The service manual for your specific vehicle will detail the proper procedure for checking and changing the transmission fluid. Improperly checking the level could result in damage to the transmission.
