Yes, manual gearbox. The drain is on the bottom, the fill is on the driver's side of the box about half way up.

Clean thoroughly around both and make sure you can get them both slackened before removing. That way you don't end up draining all the oil out and finding you can't undo the fill!

Front axle diff uses a different oil (GL5) and should also be checked for level. Worth changing if you don't know the history I imagine.
