Looks like an incomplete random collection of service manual pages with technical service bulletins mixed in, all in random order. This is nothing like what their site advertises.

I see that key engine, transmission, brake and suspension sections are extremely incomplete or completely missing.

Very disappointing.

I will dispute this with my credit card, and I will lodge a complaint with the various authorities, and I am going to show this to my attorneys, they are going to have fun with these goons.

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

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.

The 1989 Honda Civic factory service and repair manual is matched to this exact year and trim, so every specification and torque sequence it gives is the one Honda published for your car rather than a close-enough figure borrowed from a later Civic generation.

Known issues on the 1989 Civic. Six recalls are on federal record for this model year. Five cover exterior lighting: aftermarket headlight and combination corner/bumper lamp assemblies sold as replacement equipment that lack the required amber side reflectors, which decreases lighting visibility and can result in a vehicle crash. The sixth covers the front seat belt buckle assembly, whose plastic release button can break, letting pieces fall into the buckle and keep it from operating properly, so the belt would not provide adequate protection in a crash. Owners have filed 82 complaints for the year and no technical service bulletins are on record. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you're tracing an exterior lighting fault, inspecting the front seat belt buckle, or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1989 Civic.
