You should continuously check the fluid levels between your fluid and transmission flush service intervals. In copious cases, manual transmissions don't come equipped with a dipstick to check your fluid levels, so it can be extremely difficult to do. Call or visit Richmond BMW for more information if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick.
