Haynes or Chilton ?

[mishikwest]

Recommendations on one over the other? Time for a clutch and don't see any comprehensive how to's on the forum.

neither, they both will probably say "remove transmission" but here is the factory service manual http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/pathfinder/

that and installation is reverse of removal

I know Haynes and the like get a bad rap, but I have to say I have been very impressed with the Haynes manual for my pathfinder. I think its an older version though, because it seems alot thicker than the ones they sell at the parts stores now.

The factory service manual is what prompted me look for something a bit better. There are so many great step by step how-to's around the forum I was hoping for something along those lines. My mom could have done a timing belt with one of the great threads here!

Haynes is the cliff's notes of the FSM. Check them together; There's places where it's word for word.

 

Why pay $12 for the watered-down version when you can get the real stuff for free?

[RustyButTrusty]

Well the Haynes was given to me free. Far as I know you can't get an 88 fsm for free I agree though fsms are much more detailed when it comes to specs, tolerances, and procedures.

[Precise1]

All of the above. Seriously, I have one of each (Hayes from when I bought my first pathy, FSM found here for free and a Chiltons that came with my second pathy) and cross reference them often.

 

Also, there are several threads here about tranny removal but I'm at work and don't have time to search for you.

Is the 1994 FSM linked to here good for my 1992?

[WarehouseRat]

in your case yes

[ahardb0dy]

FSM or nothing for me !!

[Alkorahil]

I perfer Haynes over Chilton as a quick reference but as stated here, nothing like the FSM.
