88red4cyl Posted September 18, 2008 Report Posted September 18, 2008 I am looking into purchasing a set of factory service manuals for the Luminas ( I have one for the Fiero and it is awesome!).. I was wondering about what year to buy.. I was wondering about the 98 one, as it would have the info for the 3800 and the 3100. Only question I have is would it be specific enough for both cars, or would I need to buy a 95 and a 99.. I figured they probably didn't change too much over the years, but I wanted to check with you all before I wasted money on a manual I couldn't use.. Thanks! Quote
Hairdo12 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Posted September 18, 2008 I bought a 93 service manual for my car which is a 92 (it was only 8$ on half.com). Everything is pretty much exactly the same on a 1992 except the transmission portion. I have a 4t60 and the manual covers the 4t60e. I guess you could say it was a pretty significant change because about 40% of the one book is about the transmission. Quote
jerry455 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Posted September 18, 2008 95 was obd1 99 is obd2 lots of differences. Quote

ManicMechanic Posted September 19, 2008 Report Posted September 19, 2008 1999 seems to be the cut off...otherwise it's just bulletins... Quote
jeremy Posted September 19, 2008 Report Posted September 19, 2008 1999 seems to be the cut off...otherwise it's just bulletins... they go back further then that depending on the model you are looking at...but yeah, definitely not as far back as I would like either Quote

Euro Posted September 20, 2008 Report Posted September 20, 2008 95 was obd1 99 is obd2 lots of differences. actually 95 was obd 1.5. So, even more differences lol Quote

So, even more differences lol Yeah, I didn't think of the obd 1.5 vs. obd II when I wrote my original post.. I guess I'll just have to get a 95 and a 99 manual separately... The online stuff is good, but I like to be able to have the book in front of me as I'm working on the car.. Quote

sl3196 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 Autozone has 97-00 2nd gen repair manuals online. Should have all first gens too. Quote
slick Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 Yeah, has the repair manual for my Bonneville as well. Doesn't have what I'm looking for though unfortunately. Quote
