If it's part of the VT - VX range then this torrent should have it.

Hey all, I'm after a workshop manual or anything that covers the 4L65-E Auto.

I have the egay manual that covers vt to vy and the only auto covered is the early 4L60-E which has the different casing to the later 4L60's and 4L65's

I have found one in the states, but am not sure if it will be the same as the ones in the local cars. Also I don't want to wait for two weeks for it to get here

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Does the VE one have anything on the 4L65-E box? I'm not sure on what transmissions the VE series ran.

I would love to get my hands on one of these. Although I reckon the VY II one would be pretty similar for the most part.

[ve/ss]

very interesting

...true
although the VY manual I saw did NOT have Series II in it
it was pretty much the same as VX (it did have the changes that went into VX Series II)
btw...I have a VT-VX genuine CD

Is there a later update of the VY manual that covers Series II?

I agree to a point, but I am also an advocate of not getting ripped off so that someone else can make a buck... The price of these manuals is a little high for my liking....

[boyley]

you can get them second hand if you like or borrow from a library. If you get the ABN off the book you can do a search for the cheapest version. Anyhow when you change cars you can sell the manual on ebay and recoupe some of the cost. $50 is cheap IMO, what you save from having to take your car to the mechanic would be 50 times that.

Does anyone know if these cover the gearbox rebuilds, It only says "includes some information about"

[VZMY06SS]

What gearbox are you rebuilding? I downloaded a T-56 manual that would be handy if that's what your doing.. Just searched it on google and got it from an american ls1 site.

I'm going to be doing a 4L65-E Auto box. Any chance you could link me to that site?

I sent a message to pitstop and they told me their workshop manual does not cover the Auto trans rebuild, dang it!

Agree....But I've heard that Factory "hard copy" (books!) are not available at all, even for dealers, on VZ. I've heard that dealers do have DVDs to cover all models, but that they are STRICTLY dealer only, & that any dealer letting one go outside the dealer network would be in serious trouble. Maybe "Planetdavo" can enlighten us.
I'd buy the DVD if I could.
Cheers, Pickles.

Virtually every pre-VY book is discontinued these days. You have to buy a DVD. As you do with VY and VZ models.
VE is no longer supplied on disc. You have to purchase access time via a web link and your credit card.
I think smitty's books might be workshop backup books, as I've never seen them released retail.

Might be a silly question Davo, but are these dvd's availible to the public and if so at what cost?

I currently have a genuine VT book on ebay...:stick:
VT was readily available in book format a few years ago. There's not much left these days from Holden, as the $500ish disc is the option now.

[SSKIDD]

Yep priced up the VY cd at holden, and when they said $440 :confused:I politely declined

Havnt got anymore of those VT books have ya davo?

WTF? what can be so valuable in this manual?

[ti0350]

i'd like to know as well wanted one for my VY but not paying that much..

[SSKIDD]

Apparently it contains everything you need to know from motor/mechanical to interior, body work, diagnostics. Lots of info, but more than I was willing to spend

its not THAT exxie when you consider the last lot of paper manuals that i bought
for VR and the VS addendums...all 16 of them cost nearly $900 :confused: ...back in the 90s
and worse... the Wiring one is not normal size...its A3 size!

16 manuals take up LOT of space in my library (a disused frig in the garage) so a CD or DVD is far more convenient, takes up less space ...and is cheaper, yeah even at $440


cheers

[statesman350]

I Have the Manual in PDF format for VT-VY including v6, v6 supercharged, 5lt and GENIII but its well over 100mb

This torrent is a scanned copy of the ellery manual.......

Apart from not being the best material around, its bloody hard to read! (poor effort at scanning).......
