Ya, it should be just over the pocket the ball at the end of your shifter sits in.

Pulled into gear? If you mean what I think you do, you might ust need to replace the bushings.

I've never seen an extension housing filled from the factory.
If the transmission fluid hasn't been serviced, it's usually dry.
The Mazda FSM recommends filling it with trans fluid though...
Go figure.
