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.

Item as described quick delivery

Fitment for this 1996 Lexus GS 300 service and repair manual is fixed at the year, engine and trim level — the 3.0L inline-six (2JZ-GE) — so every clearance, torque figure and service interval it lists is the one Lexus published for this car, not a value carried over from an adjacent model year.

Engines

  • 3.0L l6 GAS Naturally Aspirated

Trims

  • Base

Known issues on the 1996 GS 300. One recall is on federal record for this model year. It covers the front lower control arm ball joints: inadequate lubrication inside the lower ball joints can cause excessive wear, damaging the joints, and separation of the lower ball joints from the steering knuckle arms could occur — a condition that could lead to a loss of control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 5 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins have been issued. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.

From a front suspension and ball joint inspection to a routine service interval on the 2JZ-GE, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for this 1996 GS 300.

NHTSA #99V12500019/05/1999Component: SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. DUE TO INADEQUATE LUBRICATION OF THE INSIDE OF THE LOWER BALL JOINTS, EXCESSIVE WEAR CAN OCCUR CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE LOWER BALL JOINTS. SEPARATION OF THE LOWER BALL JOINTS FROM THE STEERING KNUCKLE ARMS COULD OCCUR.

Consequence

THIS CONDITION COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE LOWER BALL JOINTS.
