Usually there is a drain bolt on the bottom or side of the transmission....you can remove that bolt and let the old fluid drain out.....after it is done draining put the bolt back in and look for another bolt....possibly a little higher...i believe the legacys take 80W90 gear oil so fill it through that higher hole until it starts to leak out than put the bolt back in....manual transmission vehicles dont have trans. filters....
