Hi peeps this topic has been covered but this was done on 6th Gen so thought I would share it, this is a simple yet a very effective way to keep your manual transmission silky smooth 
Firstly you will need about 2 litres of quality MTF, always think carefully regarding this fluid and 90% of the time its wise to stick to the genuine fluid for cars younger than 8 years old.
MTF fluid is allot thicker than engine oil, so changing it whilst the engine & gearbox is hot is advisable? Preferably after a 10-20 minute run, as this will allow any contaminants to empty more readily. Then proceed to jack up at the front of the car from the side where transmission is located, also as an extra safety measure place a axle stand under the structural chassis beam. Unless you’re using ramps which is the best option all-round?
Now place some plastic sheeting down just in case and ensure a suitable bowl is placed under the sump to prevent oily mess on the floor or driveway.
As illustrated the gearbox filler bolt at the top is loosened but not removed as this can be allot harder to remove than the drain bolt, so the wumps method maybe required
