Customer comments on this selection.
 Gear'd Up
It wasn't what I had expected. The details are good to excellent for the 2 manuals featured, but I was after more on the "Modify" side of transmissions. This maybe more my problem, expecting more could be done with a tranny but none the less it covered the topic at hand with success. A good "journal"
Decent book that focuses on the principles
I was looking for some info on how to rebuild a T-56 6spd transmission and this book came up in the search. It only mentions the T-56 a handful of times. Aside from that, the "principles" of rebuilding a transmission were covered very well. The only thing I would improve upon would be to add more picture diagrams of the labeled individual components.
 great reading. very informative.
i got this book so in case of future questions i may have. between 2 harley's, & a couple of ol' chevy's with 4 speeds, your going to need to fix something @ some point or pay someone else. i rebuilt my turbo 350 in my '77 gmc 7 yrs. ago & it still runs great. this guy did a great job as this book is good reading informative! i recommend 100%.
Informative book for gearheads
(NOTE: I am the author so this is a biased review):
Manual transmissions aren't as sexy as some other engine parts that I could think of (like cams, or turbos), but that doesn't make them boring!
This book covers the little-known and little-described topic of manual transmissions. I attack the subject from the angle of a "weekend warrior" mechanic or car builder, which means it's neither dry and academic nor lowbrow.
Manual transmissions, clutches and even differentials are covered in enough detail to be useful without drowning in theory. Unlike many automotive books it's full of meaty details and tips - the chapter on manual transmission diagnosis alone is worth the cost.
Even if you're not a die-hard stick shifter, it's a fun read and an interesting look at the technology behind a manual transmission. If nothing else, you could read it and impress the guys at your local hot-rod spot with your knowledge of gear oil additives.
Besides, where else can you get all the current thinking on manual transmission modifications in one place?
Very Very Very good book
I just got this book and Have to say that it is one of the best automotive books I have ever read. Most automotive Books are either to Dry and Technical or have very little info. This Book is both easy to read and has a ton of information. I'll be referring to this book any time I have a problem with a manual transmission.
