MITCHELL 1 OD5 TRANSMISSION GETS MAJOR UPDATE

POWAY, California (November 1, 2005) — Capping a year of significant product upgrades, the latest release for Mitchell 1 OnDemand5 Transmission includes over 1,600 new transmission repair articles and over 500 new TSBs for 2005.

The extensive list of product upgrades in each category includes new articles pertaining to driveline/axle, electrical, overhaul, oil circuit diagrams and wiring diagrams.

OnDemand5 Transmission offers a comprehensive database of automatic and manual transmission information complete with full-color oil circuit diagrams redrawn from factory specifications. Wiring diagrams are converted from factory schematics into formatted, consistently-clear diagrams with added features such as component and ground locations, pin numbers, switch internals and power distribution identification.

When used in combination with the diagnostic charts, these service "maps" make troubleshooting and testing faster and easier. In addition, since all shifting symptoms are not directly related to the transmission, OnDemand5 Transmission covers electronic and component locations and drive axles, as well as clutch and transmission.
