By J. Belcher
One thing that should be pointed out first is that this book is published in Australia. So, the units jump from metric to english depending on the model and words such as whilst are sprinkled throughout the text. The first issue is somewhat annoying as I am used to thinking in English units. Also, the transmission application guide is incorrect (because it is for Australian vehicles).
I am only concerned about C4/C5 transmissions...so my nitpicks are regarding those. One, the gear ratios for the C4/C5 are wrong, which doesn't instill me with much confidence. Two, the intermediate band adjustment is given as the same for C4/C5 transmissions. The C4 requires you to turn the screw CCW 1 3/4 turns, the C5 is 4 turns. Lastly, the pictures aren't of the best quality...poor lighting and unfocused pictures abound. I must say though, almost all of the other models have satisfactory illustrations, it seems the C4/C5 is exception to the rule.
In summary, I would buy this book if you are going to rebuild one of the transmissions that are held within, but I also suggest buying Haynes "Ford Automatic Transmission Overhaul Manual: Models Covered: C3, C4, C5, C6 and AOD Rear Wheel Drive Transmissions, ATX", which I consider to be superior to the Ellery manual.

Some pictures and steps are not very clear, also alot of info has been generalized so if you have rebuilt some transmissions in the past it should help you. If you are new to rebuilding transmissions, search around for a DVD video, you will be much better off. But all in all, I'm glad I bought this one with my skill set.
