The manual seems to be complete and was easy to download. The pages are images, however, and not searchable.

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.

Everything went just as expected. Good experience thanks for being so prompt.

This factory service and repair manual for the 1983 Chevrolet Chevette opens on a two- and four-door hatchback offered in Base, S and Scooter trim, and closes on two very different engines: a naturally aspirated 1.6L single-overhead-cam inline-four of 98 cubic inches on gasoline and a naturally aspirated 1.8L overhead-valve inline-four of 110 cubic inches on diesel. Almost everything aft of the bulkhead is shared between the two, so the brake, suspension, steering and body chapters serve the whole range while the engine chapter divides by fuel.

Engines covered

  • 1.6L inline-four (98 cu in) — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 1.8L inline-four (110 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, diesel

Body styles covered

  • 2-door hatchback
  • 4-door hatchback

Trims covered

  • Base
  • S
  • Scooter

Known issues on the 1983 Chevette. One recall is on the federal record. It concerns wear in the automatic transmission shift lever's button mechanism: once worn, the button no longer has to be pressed to move the lever out of a gear, so a knock from the driver or a passenger can take the car from drive into reverse while it is moving. Two owner complaints have been logged, both about interior lighting. Shift linkage adjustment, transmission control service and the instrument and interior lighting circuits are all documented here with diagrams and specifications.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER BUTTON MECHANISM MAY WEAR TO THE POINT THAT THE BUTTON ON THE SHIFT LEVER NO LONGER NEEDS TO BE DEPRESSED TO SHIFT GEARS.

Consequence

A LEVER WITH THIS CONDITION COULD BE INADVERTENTLY BUMPEDOR MOVED FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE BY

Remedy

A NEWLY DESIGNED TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER WILL BE INSTALLED ON ALL VEHICLES.
