Default Manual

I've been looking but have been unable to find any type of repair manual for the C5 corvette. I have a couple of books on the LS1/LS6 but nothing for the C5 corvette at large. Does anyone know of a manual out there for specs and procedures on the C5?

You can get repair manuals from the dealer, they are by Helm Inc. The forum supporting dealers have a completive price. Or you can look for a used set on e-bay.

You can try the C5 parts section, shop manuals show up regularly. Also e-bay has shop manuals often. Be aware of CDs, some are junk, some are reported pretty good.

Good luck.

I got the actual GM Service DVD on EBay from "repairsentinals" for $55.00, I'm very happy with it!

Someone posted a while ago that non-OEM car repair manuals are only produced for cars where the repair manual sales will be 145,000 or more. C5s do NOT fall into those numbers.

You can get an electronic repair manual on Ebay for like $28 including shipping.

I bought the factory service manual set from Ken Fichtner (Forum Dealer) when I originally bought my car, and it is invaluable.

Thanks everyone for your input. I think I'm going to get one of the shop manuals.
