check your owners manual?
On a 2000 Mercury Cougar : No , only the automatic transaxle ( transmission ) has a dipstick

it uses Mercon V at transmission fluid. both automatic and manual transmission

On a 2000 Mercury Cougar : The brake fluid reservoir is also used as the clutch fluid reservoir
Manual transmissions dont use fluid, they use a kind of grease.
