My 1990 Toyota Corolla has 130,000 miles and still running strong. However, while driving in 4th gear, the gear shift on the floor pops right out of 4th gear.

Someone suggested I check to see if my manual transmission has fluid, or grease, in it.

Where to check if the manual transmission fluid, or grease, is low? And how to I add any fluid or grease to it?

I cannot find the information in my manual.

Thank you!
Please note this is "not" an automatic transmission. It's a manual 5 speed. Uses a clutch. Driving sometimes it pops out of 4th gear only.
 
there is a threaded plug on the side of the transmission case.The oil should be up to that hole,or close to it.You should be able to stick the tip of your finger in and touch the oil. If not, it's low. If the fluid is red,your tranny takes ATF. If it's black and stinks, it takes gear oil.I'm not sure on a 90 toyota,but,most newer cars take ATF in standard trannies,for better cold weather shifting.Check your owners manual, or with a dealer ship mechanic.
