I have noticed in the couple of Workshop manuals I have seen that there is a large chunk missing from the Automatic Transmission section. I bet 95% of people have never noticed it mainly because their car is a 5-speed. Another big reason is that unless you are actually rebuilding the automatic transmission the missing information isn't important. I got my manual from P J Grady and until I pointed out to Rob about the missing pages he didn't even realize it. (They were able to provide the missing pages). Besides the "missing pages" there are numerous errors throughout the manual, some small and some large, I keep notes in mine and try to correct whenever I find one. At one point DMC Houston asked for corrections which I had sent. They said they were in the process of creating a "new, updated, and corrected manual. This is a tremendous effort and the time and expense is enormous. You can't realize it until you actually try to do such an effort. It is a major effort just to keep track of the corrections. All of these manuals evolved from the origional paperwork created by Delorean Motor Company for the Dealers. IMHO the the best manual is the origional manual without anyone's modifacations until a better corrected version can be created. For anyone really interested in this kind of materiel Bosch has excellent reference books on the fuel and engine managment systems, some of it Delorean specific. At this point in time I think Wayne Earnst can be considered our resident expert (along with James Espey of course) as he has investigated many versions and reprints of the available manuals. Last time I spoke to him he was trying to create an updated version but because of the immensity of the task I guess it is "on the back burner". In the meantime I guess we will muddle through with what we have now and the archives of the DML.
