Many of the pictures make the book seem like a 1950s text. There are wasted words to go with the most shockingly awful pictures ever seen. Compare them to a high school student newspaper to get an idea. In an era of multi-color gorgeous illustrations drawn by professional artists or computer, this publisher settled for black with blue highlights. Then, rather than paying someone for decent photos, grabbed (evidently free) garbage (dark, less than crisp) photos from Toyota, Chrysler and some government agencies. After that, they charge a hundred bucks for thing while one can purchase a spectacular book about, say, construction, at Home Depot for $30 and be delighted with the gorgeous illustrations all the way through.In the first chapters assigned by my instructor, pages were filled with "Real World Fix" examples, mini-stories of troubleshooting probably culled together from an internet forum. Wasting my time reading a bunch of them, I finally realized the authors are never going to explain WHY the eventual fix worked or the problem occurred, only what did solve the issue (new modulator, whatever).The book does get better in parts (not the photos), which provides some decent explanations of the subject. But the illustrations forever remain two-color. Moreover, oftentimes the names listing parts in the illustrations fail to match up with the text, so maybe the author borrowed both illustrations and descriptions from others without bothering to reconcile the differences.I don't hate the book. But if anybody ever decides to publish a brilliant text on auto repair / instrution (Chilton and Haynes manuals offered in auto parts stores are crappola too), I will cheerfully shell out the cash and forever leave these oinkers in the rearview mirror.
Not organized properly, terrible pictures, I wish I had seen one before and not make the mistake and buy one.Do not recommend at all.
I strongly recommend this book. I am preparing for the ASE test on transmissions and thought I'd check this out. It is well written with 2-color photographs. The author starts by discussing the basic principles of transmission design, and concludes with various modifications. You can see what's in the book at the publisher's website. It is pearsoned.com/autostudent.
Very detailed and it delves in deep into the history of auto transmissions. No disc is a negative for this era and the price. Great pickup for vets and rooks alike. If you are going to take the ASE certification test(s) it is a must.
Best book to really learn a transimission inside and out... this is the book that my college classes called for and I have kept it ever since... best referance to have in a shop
Exactly what I was looking for and I came with the answers to the quizzes which was a plus. And the book was n great condition
Once again Birch does a great job in teaching the reader
