Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Selespeed transmission on the 156 behave erratically, and does this manual explain how to fix it?
The Selespeed system is known for hydraulic pump wear and pressure loss, leading to jerky or failed gear changes. This manual includes full actuator pressure testing procedures, pump removal and installation steps, and the clutch bite-point re-learn sequence needed after any hydraulic component replacement.
Which body styles and trim levels of the Type 932 are covered?
All Type 932 variants are included: Sedan, Sportwagon (wagon), and GTA coupe-derived performance models, along with Lusso, Veloce, and Ti Sport trim levels in both pre-facelift (1996–2002) and post-facelift (2003–2007) configurations.
Are wiring diagrams and electrical connector pinouts included for systems like ABS and climate control?
Yes. The manual provides comprehensive circuit diagrams covering engine management, ABS, climate control, Bose audio, navigation, and Xenon lighting systems, complete with connector pinout data for accurate fault tracing.
