Default Shop manual?

Do we have to go to the dealer for a shop/repair manual?
I can't seem to find any for the C5 just the C4.

Also check out Ebay. From time to time a service manual for the particular year will come up for bid.

Just got mine from Fichtner Chevrolet, one of the Forum Vendors. Its got just about everything you ever needed to know about your Vette in there.

At $120 it was a great deal and they even shipped to England.

Listen to "ready kilowatt" (2KFRC5), he is right on target. Those manuals are very readable and easy to use.

GMPartsHouse sells them at a decent price. You can also check the C5 Parts for Sale section - they come up for sale there every now and then for the various model years.

It's not that hard, folks. Fichtner Chevy has been a supporting Dealer/Vendor for years. That's where I got my manuals. The Helm manual is the official GM service manual, and the only game in town. Haynes and Chilton never made a C5 manual.

I got mine used and specific for my '99 from that big internet auction site. Not new by any means but the price was right.

I recently bought a set for my 98 on the C5 parts for sale section. Think that I paid $60 for the set in excellent condition. Just post a WB (want to buy) on that section.
