I think it is the CD that you can down load here that some one posted.

While not complete it is good enough to work with.

The Helms printed manual is the best but over $100. I plan to buy that one in time. I think that is what the post above is speakin of. I thing it it two manals. I think he missed the CD part. I think the Helms is also avaiable on CD but I could be wrong. Just go to their web site and check. It is what the dealers use.

I would like to find a parts manal CD. They have exploded views and all the part numbers. I have used the heck out of the one for my Fiero.

If that is the one I bought .... beware.

Mine is a series of PDFs without an index. eBay seller advertised it as a manual for 2006-2008 but when I got the CD I noticed the files were for 2006. Seller then told me that most of the info was good for the 2008, motor, transmission etc..

I just found our the hard way that is not true. The oil pan on my 2008 is very different from what is depicted on the CD. So different that oil pan removal on the CD shows 15 bolts holding the pan. In reality, the 2008 oil pan cannot be removed without shop equipment.

Me too. But with the end of the line on production of this car, I wonder if Chilton's or Haynes will bother...
