to refill your tranny, pull out the speedo gear on the top/back of the tranny.

Some of the mazda vehicles use ATF even in manual transaxels (or so says chilton). It goes in the transmision as would regular mtf fluid. Check the color to make sure, but I'm pretty sure this is the case for you. I wouldn't recomend mixing the two.Otherwise it might possibly be from the power stearing, some times people use ATF instead of power stearing fluid, although I don't know why.good luck

atf is made for harder shifting environments, as for mtf check the book you may need gl-4 for brass synchro gears but i am not sure
