Manual transmission cars do require transmission fluid replacement, typically every 3 years or after driving approximately 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. The replacement method is as follows: 1. Remove the transmission guard plate, loosen the screws on the oil pan, and drain the old transmission fluid; 2. Unscrew the oil pan screws and remove the oil pan; 3. Apply sealant to the new oil pan and tighten it; 4. Loosen the screws on the left side of the transmission to add new fluid. The reasons for replacing transmission fluid are: 1. To ensure smooth and seamless gear shifting, improving driving performance; 2. To provide excellent oxidation resistance, reducing rust on mechanical parts; 3. To offer superior protection for the gear set; 4. To enhance anti-wear effects and prolong the lifespan of the manual transmission.
