Reviews
My first step was to remove the supercharger.
If you have worked on your MCS, you know that the supercharger appears to be the 1 part the rest of the car was built around.
The details in the manual are very clear, and the steps are logical and they even include short cuts.
You also get the part numbers, wiring diagrams, and everything you need to really know the car and fix it yourself.
This is NOT a chilton/hayes Manual.
IT HAS DETAIL!!!!
From brake jobs, to engine removal, to speaker installs, this is the single best "mod" you can buy for your MCS.
