I'm not familiar with your vehicle and model, but hopefully this answer will help you, until an expert comes along.
Generaly, all manual transmissions have a threaded hole, closed with a plug, on the side of the transmission. The plug and hole is located at the "full" level. It will be somewhere near or above the midpoint [top to bottom] of the transmission.
If the plug is on the bottom of, or is low on the side of the transmission, this IS NOT the fill plug, but is FOR DRAINING the transmission. BE SURE YOU KNOW WHICH IS WHICH AND USE THE CORRECT ONE!!! Now that I think about it, all manual transmissions I have seen, have both fill and drain plugs. Obvious logic.
To check the level and/or to add fluid, remove the fill plug [BE SURE to clean ALL dirt and debris from the plug AND the area around AND ABOVE the fill hole BEFORE REMOVING the plug!].
When the plug is out, if the transmission is full, the fluid level will be AT the bottom edge of the hole. If not, add fluid until it is up to the bottom edge of the hole. Then clean the threads on the plug, and reinstall.
Hope this helps, good luck.
AnswerGreat answer by Johnny.I might add that some Mazda's use A/T fluid in the manual transmission and some use lube. Be sure and install the correct one.

Where do you check the transmission fluid on your 1994 Mazda B 3000?
Is this a trick? I have a 1994 Mazda B3000 and there dip stick along the fire way, more to the left. Open the hood and find the stick that says "Transmission fluid". Remove the stick, after the engine is hot, and transmission in "Park" and wipe it clean. Read the directions on the stick. Yeah! Douglas Lamberson metropac@earthlink.net This is all very interesting unless it is a manual transmission, that check is a little more grounding.
