I've checked out eBay for them and last I looked there were a few for sale. However, they fail to say - along with fuzzy photos - what area of the car each of the manuals are for.

Assuming one can find them, what besides the electrical one (ones?) is especially helpful? A recent post here mentioned adjusting the valve clearance - which should be done every 20K miles. Pray tell that it isn't adjusted via shims unless vintage Alfa shims fit.

Trying to consider what most likely - other than brake pads - would most likely be needed is the 6-speed's clutch plate. Assuming the clutch hasn't been harshly used, what would your guesstimate of the life of one? My 'new' XF has 51K miles and the clutch works as it should. Knock, knock.

Meaning, should one have both the engine and clutch/6-speed transmission manuals?

Two questions since you've read this far: Is it normal for the shift lever to have some 'play' in it? And how is the lever connected to the transmission - directly, cable (horror of horrors), or via linkage?

One more: For a non hot-rodder, are the OEM brake pads as good as any, or are there ones that stop a bit better (without chewing up the discs) and don't need to be 'heated up' to function properly? And if they dust less, that would be nice.

The shop manuals are all available here on the forum in PDF form. I was going to post a link but can not find them. They were posted in the SRT6 section. Anyone else know what happened to them?

You can find it here. https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ollection.html

 

Thanks for the link. I must have overlooked it. James

 

They were moved because they were about all Crossfires and not the SRT6 alone, they went to the TSBs & How to thread.

 

My roadster wtih a stick has 97000 on it and the clutch is fine ..... but I'm such a wimpy, gentle driver that you cant go by MY word.

And adjusting the valves every 20,000 miles? What year is this - 1940?

Brake Pads? I like my Hawk HPS, have them up front and OEMs in back. Less dust and DAMN, they can stop the car from 80mph in a panic with no fading.

 

I think you have been reading the wrong posts or have got the content mixed up in your head.
Adjusting the valve clearance? They are self adjusting. The Service Manual for the car is in PDF form and basically covers everything electrical and mechanical. You have to use common sense and know a little to start with to get the most out of the info.

Down load the Service Manual, read it from front to back. There will be a test on Monday night, so be thorough.

 

pizzaguy, why would you need Hawk HPS pucks to stop the car from 80mph since you say you are a wimpy, gentle driver?

When I read the 20K valve adjustment comment, it didn't sound right to me, thus the comment regarding valve shims. You haven't lived until you've adjusted a dual overhead cam head using a combination of math, an accurate micrometer, and a full set of valve shims with which to dial in your valve clearances. What, they're self-adjusting now? Next thing 'they'll try to do away with carburetors.

onehundred80, I'm sure I'll be sick for the test on Monday. The one I really regret is the day they taught you how to make a lot of money.

Okay, back to the pdf's...I really like pictures which means I gravitate to parts manuals.

How do you have a navigation program on a radio? It asks you where you want to go, then talks you to/through every turn?

Sorry for being such a wise guy, I really do appreciate the comments/help.

 

I'm hyper dimensional.
