Reviews

I like this current edition, being in the manual transmission field they are accurate, up-to-date as they can be for a student with out over doing the information. The students that do enter the transmission rebuild shops will have a good understanding. The overall quality and accuracy of the artwork and photographs in the text are very good. I feel the author did well in explaining many of the more complex attributes of manual transmissions. Job sheets are perfect for walking students through new tasks. Service tips and other notes in margins offer great insight
