Default Transaxle fluid on a 5spd?

on a b18 w.5spd is there even any transaxle fluid? I know about the transmission fluid but i found another drain plug by the cv boot (on the trans side) called the transaxle drain plug according to a haynes manual. This wonderfull manual does not mention this specific plug anywhere else however. I am now worried that she is dry of fluid on the transaxle and sad. I know that this is probabally a stupid question because i should know but PLEASE HELP! ps i love my car

That plug you are talking about is the tranny fluid fill hole. Just fill it with Honda/Acura manual trans fluid until it over flows that hole and you are set.

On mine, the tranny drain plug was directly below the axle boot. It had a square hole, you used a 3/8" socket extension directly, without a socket.

The fill hole was on the side, about the same elevation as the axle. It had a normal hex head, maybe 17mm. It was noticably bigger than the tranny case bolts. If you look at the tranny from the right-front wheel well, axle is center, drain plug is 6-oclock, fill plug is 9-oclock.
