Maintenance or Service Manuals for 2002 Frontier

Just but yourself a cheap ($13 - $14) copy of a Nissan manual by the Haynes company for the pickups. I just bought a copy of the "up to 1997" Haynes manual & discovered it was almost identical to the 1996 one I already had! If you need it, I could sell you may

1996 copy for the price of mailing it - lets' call that "$3". I noted in the up to 1997 copy there is information on adjusting the *hydraulic* clutch. On page 1-34 (fairly sure) there is info on adjusting the pedal height & free travel and on page 8-6 there is info about "bleeding" (getting all the air out of the hydraulic lines) the clutch system.

This stufff is not Rocket Science at all. The damned franchised dealers will "slaughter" you - quite frequently. I could tell you horror stories about that nonsense!

I might be able to scan a couple pages and put attachments on an e-mail & send 'em to you - provided you don't need all that many pages. Let me know by e-mail. - Rob

Manuals come in three types: a) Owner's - comes with new vehicle or from previous owner if he didnt lose it! b) Service (shop) manuals from manufacturer, in this case Nissan. SOmetimes similar info is produced by a third-party licensed by manufacurer or not licenesed at all - someone just makes up a CD. book, etc. designed to replicate manufactyuer's book. c) Repair manuals from well known publisher's like Haynes, CHilton, these sometimes lag in time, i.e. there's nothing for my new 2004 Sentra and all they offer is pre-2000 Sentra's from Haynes

My solution was: a) I have Owner's manual came with a new car, obiosuly; but also: b) MULTIPLE service/shop manuals from Ebay, multiple because no one was complete and a few were lying (generic "car repair" disk, nothign specific on sentras) but they were so cheap I dont complain ($12-20). So do this:

1. Search Ebay. Sometimes supercheap ( or less) CD's are a hoax good for any generic car but not your specific model and not deep, just basic crap extracted from websites, books, etc. However my manuals from Ebay were 100% OK.
2. Search Haynes
3. Search Chilton
4. Check manufacturer's website, perhaps call. In my case Nissan explicitly SPELLED OUT HOW TO GET Service (shop) manual in the back of User's manual (guide), i went there and found cost 0's, so not acceptable for a single person like me (OK only for a large shop or someone rich), so got from Ebay instead (not Nissan's official, but similar).
5. Check helminc.com
6. Check
   formatting link
   Some (not all) manuals there. ALl about Nissan's manuals, parts, etc

Finally:

1. Search Web via Google, will return lots of false "hits" and time-consuming - the last resort however this is how I did find all about Chilton's, Haynes and helminc.com when I was a car moron seeveral years ago, helminc still in business and I got owner's manuals from them, buit no shop - shop was overpriced agagin.
