I thought you were talking engine oil in an MT car, not tranny fluid.

No filter for manual transmission, and I'm not sure if there's a gasket on the plugs either. Might be soft metal sealing rings. If you don't have new ones, turn the old ones around and they usually seal pretty well. Always remove fill plug before drain plug, and replace drain plug before pumping in new fluid! Also if you happen to break one of the plugs, you should be able to buy a generic M18 replacement plug at your FLAPS.
