my car doesnt have a dipstick like the one for the regular oil. i am having trouble shifting and i just had the cluth replaced. i just want to check if is low on transmition fluid.thank you before hand

There is and never will be a dipstick for the manual transmission. There is a bold on the side of the tranny to take off, that is about midway up the side. That is where you'd take it off to check the fluid level. If clutch engagement is the problem, then it might be the hydraulic system for the clutch that isn't bled properly, or a slave cylinder is leaking, or bad, or the master cylinder to it maybe bad as well.

If this is a standard trans. low fluid is not likely going to cause the vehicle to not shift. Sounds like a clutch slave problem. Sould be next to your brake resivoir little white or clear or possibly black cup that holds fluid. if it is low or empty you may wanna take it back to the place that changed the clutch. may have a leak or they forgot to tighten a bleeder.

Look in you manual you got when you purchased the car fore the location. It may not be a serviceable transmission and if not there is no dip stick. If it is a service transmission the it will have a dip stick similar to the engine oil stick but shorter and will likely have a red or yellow ball or square headed on the top of the dip stick, it will likely be located near the front of the transmission or at the rear of the transmission, look for the red or yellow ball or square headed dip stick.

there should be a plug on one side of the transmision that is about half way to the top remove this plug and f the fluid does not come out then add some. but if you are having trouble shifting it is either in the clucth or the throwout brearng most likley, further problems could be internal sugh as the syncernizes could be wore out

Need more information. For a manual transmission, consider the master and slave cylinders. They could be low on fluid. There could be air in the lines which will need to be bled off. Sometimes air will be trapped and it will work for awhile. Then the air bubble moves and it quites working.For an automatic transmission, there is a dipstick. You just need to find it. Consult a manual.Either way, unless you take the time to learn more about the vehicle, you will need someone else to correct it. Bleeding lines is not difficult, but does require knowing what is going on. You can read a manual and easily do it yourself with a helper.
