hi, i managed to find myself a little corolla to take the stresses of daily driving off the GTfour 
I bought it without rego, and breifly going over the car i cant see it would need anything much.
it has a 2A engine (i think)
i flushed the radiator, and alot of rusty water came. i repeated this process about 3 times, and its still not perfectly clean.
I changed oil, and oil filter.
I wanted to change the manual transmission oil too but couldnt find how to do this? Can anyone point out how to do this for me please?
The other problem I have is the passenger side window doesnt work. cant wind it up or down. I tried tackling this today. Tho i couldnt manage to take off the door trim.. Whats the secret?
Thanks for any help

Ok to change the maual transmission fluid, you need to Jack up the car and get underneath. On the Passenger(normally) side of the gearbox, there will be 2 threaded bolts (top,bottom).
First you loosen the top bolt to get the air through and then remove the bottom bolt and let it drain out. Make sure your car isnt too much of a lean.
To refill, Plug up the bottom hole first and fill up from the top(side hole)with a pump etc, until the oil leaks out, when it leaks out then its full then plug it up!!.

Yeah normally, you just unscrew the handle, lever surround, window winder. The key to remove the winder clip is to slide in a rag and pull it back and forth until it flys out  then just carefully pry off the clips all around the sides of the door trim and remove
