The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Excellent. Now I can actually start working on my cars again with confidence. YouTube videos really are inadequate.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

I didn’t realize I would have a link in an email to click to get another email with another link to download.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Fitment on the 1979 Toyota Corolla is not a single specification. The year was built as a coupe, a hatchback, a sedan and a wagon, in Base, Custom and SR5 form, with standard and automatic transmissions listed across the Base and Custom lines. A 4D Wagon on an automatic and an SR5 2D Hatchback are different cars to work on, and the numbers that apply to one are not the numbers that apply to the other, so this manual is matched to the exact 1979 build in front of you rather than to a neighboring model year.

Known issues on the 1979 Corolla. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the steering gear box (other than rack and pinion): the lock nut may not have been tightened enough on the steering gear box worm gear bearing and adjuster, and the worm gear adjuster may then become loose due to excessive pressure. NHTSA also records 3 owner complaints for the year, and Toyota has issued 7 technical service bulletins.

Whether the job is checking the steering gear box worm gear adjuster for looseness or working through a service interval on a Custom 4D Sedan, the procedure you follow and the specification you set it to are Toyota's own for the 1979 Corolla.
