Im confused about this, ok what is and what are the differences between manual transaxle, differential, manual transmission and automatic transaxle. I ask cause my other car has a 4 speed manual trans. and i am going to change the fluid in it and then i want to change out the differential fluid but in my manual they call it transaxle fluid does that refer to the transmission or the differential?

You need manual transmission fluid, not diffrential or automatic transmission fluid.

right but there is no diff. fluid on a manual to be changed?

on a manual transaxle, the diff shares the same fluid as the transaxle. on an automatic, the differential is filled seperately.
