Clymer Manuals
Hey, is a Clymer Service Manual a good investment or should I bite the bullet and buy the HD?

Nothing wrong with Clymer manuals in general, but the HD manual is better. I would bite the bullet and buy the HD one.

Buy the factory manual.Much more model specific and covers every thing you need! Well worth the dollars.

thanks all. found a used HD manual on Ebay for the same price as the Clymer. I'll add to the oil stains.

Buy the real thing! A Cliff Notes version of a Factory Service Manual will get one into far more trouble than it will ever get you out of.

I have both and the HD manual is much more detailed. The Clymer only compliments the HD manual by adding a few blow-up illustrations.

I had the Clymer manuals for 2 cars...many years ago. Unless they have changed, it seems they took the factory manual and tried to abbreviate it without verification.

You'll need to bite 3 bullets. The Service Manual, The Parts Manual, and The Electrical Schematic Manual.
