Documentation Walkthrough
This 1989 factory publication breaks down technical data into three core sections. The General section outlines vehicle identification, maintenance schedules, and lifting procedures. This is especially critical for safely handling pneumatic suspension models and 4WD systems without causing undercarriage damage. You get detailed dimensional charts covering the 4-door sedan, station wagon, and 3-door coupe. It explicitly lists curb weights, track widths, and wheelbase measurements for every sub-model.
Moving to the Engine section, the manual dives deep into the EA-82 flat-four power plant. It provides all necessary timing data and lubrication system specifications. The Transmission and Differential chapters break down the 5MT manual, along with the 3AT and 4AT automatics. It clearly lists gear ratios for 2WD, full-time 4WD, and dual-range setups. Finally, the guide delivers vital adjustment data for the clutch, hill-holder system, steering gearbox, and suspension geometry.
Specification Highlights
Fast access to accurate numbers keeps a shop moving. This publication provides exactly that. For instance, it documents the GL-10 Turbo AT engine cooling system capacity at 6.0 liters. Intake valve clearances for the EA-82 are mapped out clearly in the general tables. Working on the drivetrain? The 4WD rear differential gear oil capacity is specified at 0.8 liters for most setups.
The text also covers multi-stage torque sequences for cylinder head bolts. Tightening torque for standard M14 bolts sits between 103 and 122 ft-lb (139–165 Nm). You will also find strict inspection thresholds for brake master and wheel cylinders across both disc and drum setups. Keep in mind that specialized automotive work carries inherent risks. Thoroughly review all manufacturer technical data and safety protocols before starting any mechanical project.
