1996 Geo Metro Service and Repair Manual

Only detail revisions separated the 1996 Geo Metro from the redesigned 1995 car, but one mattered to buyers: the 1.3L SOHC four-cylinder could now be had even on entry-level models. Base and LSi trims came as a two-door hatchback or a four-door sedan, and the 1.0L SOHC three-cylinder stayed in lower-spec hatchbacks. With two engines sharing one body, year-correct data matters, and this service and repair manual supplies 1996 procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules for both.
