2001 Nissan Maxima Manual Transmission Dipstick?

I don't know if I'm going crazy but can anyone take a pic of the location of your 01 Maxima M/T dipstick?

I don't know if you known this, but all cars with manual tranny do not have a dipstick unless it's a Subaru. You have to find the fill plug and that how you check for fluid level by putting your finger in.

Like FMM said,no dipstick. Just a fill hole on the actual transmission under the car.
Theres two holes,the fill which is on the higher end of the tranny, and the drain hole which os on the lower end. Same side. At least on my 02'.Im assuming the same for the '00-'01s

The dipstick is your finger. Just stick it in the hole and see if it gets wet. Then pull it out and add lubricant as needed until it reaches the rim.

You can also use this technique to check your transmission fluid.
