How to change manual transmission fluid?

I have a Chevy Cobalt with manual transmission and want to change the fluid. I have changed transmission fluid on an automatic car before, but never a manual. Is it done the same way? Either drop the pan or pull the plug and then fill 'er up?How to change manual transmission fluid?
There are two plugs (one high and one low). The low is for drain. The high is for fill.



The fill is difficult to do as you need either LONG funnel, or a pump to pump the fluid UP TO the tranny from the bottom. If you get a long neck funnel, just be careful with the last 1/2. As once it starts to OVER FLOW (good), there's about 2 feet of funnel neck of oil, still pouring down into the tranny (bad).





Good Luck...How to change manual transmission fluid?
