To check the transaxle fluid in a 2002 Ford Focus with a manual transmission, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface. Remove the fill plug, typically located on the side of the transmission case, and check the fluid level; it should be just below the fill hole. If fluid drips out when the plug is removed, the level is adequate; if not, you may need to add the appropriate fluid until it reaches the correct level. Always use the recommended fluid type specified in the owner's manual.

This is a 4t40E transaxle and it has no dipstick. The way the fluid is checked is through the check plug like a manual trans is checked. With the engine running and the transaxle at the correct temp the oil should be at the bottom of the hole. The only way to check the transaxle temp is with a scan tool. So As you can tell you need to take this vehicle to a transmission shop to have the oil checked.
