you can't check the level on gearbox oil. u just have to drain it. fill it back up till it drips out then wait for the dripping to stop and put the plug back in.

little bit of grease or wd40 at the bottom of the stick does the trick, you will have to unbolt it from its mounting but try not to let the whole thing drop out

According to the hanes manual the level can be checked as there is a filler/level plug on left side of the transmission?is this right??

yes yo can. on the passenger sid of your gearbox there are two 8mm square bolts. the higer one is your filler hole for your gear box oil.
if you take this out there hould be a very slight trickle of oil that comes out. if none comes out then it needs to be either topped up or changed.
