manual transmission

So I am wondering if the car has to be absoultely level to drain out all the transmission fluid? I wanna change it in my drive way but I only have 2 ramps which would raise the front. Can I still do it?

ALSO, does anyone know if the 2000 MAX se, manual, has a dipstick for the trany fluid? IF SO, can I refill the fluid by pouring it into the dipstick or do I have to refill into the drain plug?

[sorry for posting this here, I know there is a fluids/lubs section but no one answers questions there]

no, there's no dipstick.
theres a drain plug at the bottom and a fill plug at the top....I think there's something in the FAQ about how to do this. Or you could buy a Haynes manual.

Don't worry about lifting it on ramps. There's no dipstick, it just runs out of the fill hole when it's full.
