MUSTANG 1965 to 1973 TRANSMISSION WORKSHOP MANUAL - ALL 3 & 4 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS PLUS THE C4 & C6 AUTOMATIC
145 pages and profusely illustrated with more than 280 illustrations diagrams and charts, size 8.250 x 10.750 inches. The decision to publish this manual was based on the fact that the predominance of contemporary aftermarket workshop manuals for the first generation Mustang (19641/2 to 1973) do not include transmission overhaul procedure, they only cover basic maintenance and adjustment. This omission is likely due to the fact that there were seven different transmissions available, including the 2.77 and 3.03 three-speed, the 4-speed Dagenham, Borg Warner and Ford Design (toploader) and the optional C4 and C6 automatic. This manual includes detailed overhaul, maintenance, adjustment and service data for each of those 7 transmissions, making it the most comprehensive manual ever published for the first generation Mustang transmissions. IMPORTANT: The reader should be advised that the contents of this manual are based on data that was published in the factory workshop manuals; consequently, it will offer no additional information to owners of the original factory manuals. However, any owner of a contemporary aftermarket manual that requires comprehensive transmission maintenance, adjustment and overhaul data will find this publication to be indispensible.While the intent of this manual was to assist first generation Mustang owners, these transmissions were also used in many different Ford automobiles. While that additional information could have been deleted from this publication, it has been retained as many of the earlier Mustangs, once they became 'just used cars', were retrofitted with used parts from other Ford models resulting in 'unicorns' that were never available from the factory. For that reason, the data that applies to the Comet, Falcon and Fairlane models, including the overdrive transmission was retained. Due to the variety of different transmissions offered, there is a certain amount of confusion regarding what unit was fitted to which model of Mustang. This confusion is made even worse as this was the era when the buyer went to the dealer and filled out a list of options they wanted on their new automobile and, in some cases, the dealer would retrofit an option that was not available from the factory in order to make the sale. However, based on our research of the factory press kits, here is what we believe were the engine/transmission combinations available from the factory: The 3 and 4 speed manual and the C4 auto were available in the 170 & 200 C.I.D. 6 cylinder models. The 3 speed manual and C4 auto were the only two options for the 260 C.I.D. V8. The 4 speed manual and C4 auto were available in the 289 C.I.D. V8 models - with the exception of the 289 HI-PO which only came with a 4 speed. The C4 was also an option for the 302 C.I.D. cars. The C6 was optional for the 'big block' 390, 427 and 428 C.I.D. and the later 351 C.I.D. Mustangs. Some of the special tools referenced in the text may be identified by the appropriate Ford part number. However, they may also be substituted by equivalent tools available from many of the reputable aftermarket tool suppliers. We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing technical publications for your classic Ford automobile as many of the reprints found on internet websites at enticingly low prices are nothing more than poor quality photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'. However, VelocePress.com has been publishing reprints of motorcycle and automobile manuals since 2003 and our publications have earned excellent reviews worldwide so you can be assured you are purchasing a quality product.
BULTACO 125cc - 175cc - 200cc - 250cc - 325cc - 350cc - 360cc - 370cc SINGLES 1968-1979 WORKSHOP MANUAL
174 pages and profusely illustrated with more than 280 illustrations, diagrams and charts, size 8.250 x 10.750 inches.Originally published by Floyd Clymer in 1969 with coverage for the 1969 and earlier 5-speed and 6-speed 125cc, 175cc, 200cc, and 250cc models. However, as some of the models that utilized these engines remained in production through 1979, the original Clymer manual provided coverage far beyond its publication date. While this 2025 edition includes all of the data from the original publication, it has also been expanded to include data for the 325cc, 350cc, 360cc and 370cc engines, which effectively extends the coverage through 1979. While all of these various engines were used in multiple different Bultaco motorcycles, specific 5-speed and 6-speed models covered in this manual are as follows: 125cc - Astro, Lobito, Pursang & Sherpa T175cc - Campera, Lobito & Sherpa S200cc - Sherpa S250cc - Alpina, El Tigre, Frontera, Matador, Metralia, Pursang & Sherpa T350cc - Alpina & Sherpa T360cc - Pursang370cc - FronteraHowever, this manual will also be of use to owners of older models with 4-speed transmissions.We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing technical publications for your classic motorcycle or automobile as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality, digital comb-bound or ring-bound photocopies that are scanned or printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used', or even 'refurbished'. In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years.

CZ 125cc - 250cc - 360cc - 380cc WORKSHOP MANUAL 1967-1974 SINGLE EXHAUST
126 pages and profusely illustrated with more than 260 illustrations, diagrams and charts, size 8.250 x 10.750 inches.Originally published by Floyd Clymer in 1969 with coverage for the 1969 and earlier 4-speed and 5-speed 250cc and 360cc models. While this 2025 edition includes all of the data from the original publication, it has also been expanded to include data for the 125cc and 380cc engines, which extends the coverage through 1974.CZ motorcycles of this era were identified by a three digit 'Type' number occasionally followed by a numerical suffix, for example, Type 984.9. The suffix number identifies model variations, and/or year of manufacture within each 'Type' group. Unfortunately, the use of the 'Type' number is extremely model specific and, in order to eliminate any confusion, the data included in this manual is appropriate for the 'Single (exhaust) Pipe' 4-speed and 5-speed CZ Motocross, Enduro and Ruff Country models.However, for the sake of completeness the manual states that coverage includes the following model 'Types': Type 984 - 125cc - MotocrossType 968 - 250cc - Motocross (Single Pipe)*Type 980 - 250cc - MotocrossType 988 - 250cc - EnduroType 969 - 360cc - Motocross (Single Pipe)*Type 981 - 380cc - Motocross* From 1964 to 1966, the Type 968 and Type 969 were available with 'Twin Pipe' engines - they are not covered in this manual. However, as many of the other mechanical components are shared with the 'Single Pipe' machines, this manual will also be of use to owners of those 'Twin Pipe' models.We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing technical publications for your classic motorcycle or automobile as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling.

Yamaha: The New Dawn
In the 1960s, Yamaha transitioned from instruments to motorcycle racing, quickly dominating with their innovative two-stroke engines and riders.In the early 1960s, Japanese firm Yamaha, previously known as a musical instrument maker, took their first faltering steps into the arena of top flight motorcycle racing. They were comparative latecomers in this world, but soon made stars of riders like Phil Read and Bill Ivy. Their two-stroke engines developed quickly, and within a few short years they were challenging rivals Honda for the top places in the world's most prestigious race, the Isle of Man TT. By the early 1970s, Yamaha had emerged from the shadow of their competitors to dominate Grand Prix motorcycle sport with their TZ models. More than this though, Yamaha democratised racing by building a machine that was both capable of winning, and also within the reach of any aspiring motorcycle racer. The engine was so versatile - and so effective - that it even lent itself to powering three wheeled machines, and a clutch of sidecar World Championships also fell to Yamaha as a result. The biggest names of the decade - Grant, Mortimer, Williams, O'Dell and Taylor - wrote their names in the TT history books under the Yamaha banner.
Jeep 4.0 Engines
The photos in this book are black and white.The venerable Jeep 4.0L in-line 6 engine has powered millions of Jeeps, including CJs, Wranglers, Cherokees, and Wagoneers. The 4.0 delivers adequate horsepower from the factory, but many off-road drivers want more horsepower and torque to conquer challenging terrain, which means these engines are often built and modified. The Jeep 4.0, or 242-ci, is affordable, abundant, exceptionally durable, and many consider it one of the best 4x4 off-road engines. In this Workbench title, veteran author and Chrysler/Jeep engine expert Larry Shepard covers the rebuild of an entire engine in exceptional detail. He also delves into popular high-performance modifications and build-ups. Step-by-step photos and captions cover each crucial step of the engine disassembly. He shows the inspection of all critical parts, including block, heads, rotating assembly, intake, and exhaust. Critical machining processes are covered, including decking the block, line boring, and overboring the block. The book provides exceptional detail during the step-by-step assembly so your engine is strong and reliable. Installing a larger-displacement rotating assembly (or stroker package) is one of the most cost-effective ways to increase performance, and the author covers a stroker package installation in detail. With millions of Jeep 4.0 engines in the marketplace (which are subjected to extreme use), many of these engines require a rebuild. In addition, many owners want to extract more torque and horsepower from their 4.0 engines so these engine are also modified. Until now, there has not been a complete and authoritative guide that covers the engine rebuild and build-up process from beginning to end. Jeep 4.0 Engines is the essential guide for an at-home mechanic to perform a professional-caliber rebuild or a high-performance build-up.
Designing and Tuning High-Performance Fuel Injection Systems
Ford Coyote Engines: Rebuild
In the early 1990s, Ford moved away from its decades-old small-block pushrod V-8 engine designs and introduced a new "modular" overhead-cam (OHC) V-8 engine, which was the 4.6L V-8. This design was used in all of Ford's V-8 applications--from F-150 trucks to Mustangs and Crown Victorias. After 20 years of the 4.6L engine, it was once again time for a major update, and the Coyote V-8 engine was introduced for the 2011 model year. While more evolutionary than revolutionary, displacement was increased from 4.6L to 5.0L, and every part of the engine was improved with modern technology. The Coyote engine is simply better and more powerful than its predecessors. Now, the Coyote engine is nearly 15 years old. While they are very durable engines, the older units have accumulated a significant number of miles and are starting to wear out. In Ford Coyote Engines: How to Rebuild, industry veteran Jim Smart takes you through all of the steps to return your Coyote engine to like-new condition. Heads, cams, the valvetrain, rotating assemblies, engine blocks, machining, break-in, and tuning are all covered. In addition, Smart provides an in-depth history of the four different Coyote engine generations and provides expert knowledge about planning your build, parts selection, and the engine math that is required to make the best rebuild decisions. Whether you want to do your own rebuild or farm it out to a professional (as an informed customer), this book provides all of the knowledge you need to return your Coyote engine to its former glory.

New Ford Bronco Perf Modifications
In 1966, when Ford launched its first-generation Bronco, the other Detroit manufacturers didn't produce anything quite like it. The new little Bronco had utility and charm, and it was more refined than the Jeep of the era. Beginning in 1978, Bronco chassis mirrored the F-150 until 1996. At that time, market forces dictated a change to a vehicle that was more practical, such as the Ford Expedition, which replaced the Bronco.In response to consumer demand and nostalgia, an entirely new generation of Bronco was launched in 2021. However, the planning process began several years later. Ford confirmed the return of the Bronco at the 2017 North American International Auto Show and spent the next four years building excitement for the vehicle's launch.In New Ford Bronco: Performance Modifications, off-road veteran and expert Don Alexander assembled this guide, which includes options to make the new Bronco an even more capable vehicle. Covered are model histories, suspension, brakes, tires, electronics, tops, armor, recovery, drivelines, overlanding, and more. If you already have a Bronco that you want to modify or you are thinking about purchasing one in the future and want to know your options, this guide is vital.
