Shop service and repair manuals
Ran across a site that has the 2002 - 2004 Thunderbird shop repair manuals by Ford from 169.00 to 199.00. These are the same manuals used by the Ford techs at your Ford dealer. www.Books4Cars.com

Good for 2005?
do you suppose I could use one for my 2005?
I don't think there is a lot of difference, motor, etc wise.
Any ideas?

Aren't they the same as the ones available here on site, electronically?

Manuals
George,

The manuals I found are kind of like a chiltons or haynes maintenance manuals made for ford technicians. Not like the user manuals found in your vehical.

I really can't answer that but they may have a 2005 available in the future. How much the 2004 differs from the 2005 I'm not sure. Not much I suspect.

Steve: thanks for the reply. I didn't realize there was any that detailed and available to us

yrbamje: - I believe they are mechanically identical and therefore a 2005 book may never come out. All of the changes I am aware of were cosmetic in 2005

As far as I know the only diffrence is the 50th aniversary emblem and from 2003-2004 it is the interior light by the rear view mirror.

I have the Ford shop manual for the 2004 and if any body need something from it please let me know (frank1353@yahoo.com). It is 3" thick and it is the only place I was able to find the trany gear ratios that it is needed to fine tune The ECM using autoenginuity and sniper tunning software/hardware.
Thanks, Frank

Frank,
My 2004 has a slight hesitation when I kick it down to passing gear. Also, it is a little jerky when shifting. Does yours do this? Any ideas on how to get it to smooth out? Annoying!
Does using aftermarket software to tune the ECM invalidate warranty? Was it worth it.
Plan to change my own oil and tranny/fluid and filter. Any info on that would be very helpful.
Only had the car a few months. Love it!
