4.0 out of 5 stars A must have for the home mechanic, October 30, 1999

By	Chris Finkey ([e-mail]) (New Market, England (USAF)) - See all my reviews

I bought this manual along with a video to learn how this "mystery device" works, and to rebuild my own transmission. It shows in detail step by step photos of complete teardown and assembly for the Ford C3, C4, C5, C6, and AOD transmissions. It also lists all necessary tools required to perform the overhaul as well as manufacturers who make them. I've bought numerous Haynes manuals in the past and this one is as supurbly informative as the rest. Buy it, do it yourself, and save hundreds of $$$.

4.0 out of 5 stars De-mystify working on your Ford Tranny, August 16, 2001

By	Jim Fischer (Corvallis, OR USA) - See all my reviews

Using this manual, I was able to easily disassembly and rebuild my C6 transmission using basic tools with limited need for "specialty" tools. The book explains in detail what to do for each transmission, what special tools you'll need and what special tools you WON'T need. I bought the overhaul kit from a local shop, this book and a few simple tools I needed an excuse to buy and I was off. The book has good info on diagnosing problems as well as very detailed step by step instructions with pictures. A very useful tool for the home mechanic.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great for older Fords, January 21, 2002

By	J.David Keller "[e-mail]" (Ft Collins, CO United States) - See all my reviews

In its prime, this was probably a good manual. However, time marches on and this manual has not kept pace. The newer Ford automatics from the early 90's on are not covered. If you want info for earlier models, this would be a good reference, otherwise, you'll likely be disappointed.
