Search ebay for the 2000 Camaro/Firebird Service Manual. There are three volumes to it, and I found mine on there for around 60 bucks a few years ago.

The Haynes Repair Manual for '93-'00 Camaros & Firebirds is an ok reference, but not nearly as in depth as the Service Manuals. You can find those at several different places.

Forget the Haynes and Chiltons. They suck. If you want something besides LS1tech, definitly get the Helms manual.

Yep, that's the service manual for the 2002 Camaro and Firebird, V6 (L36) and V8 (LS1)

You can order it from their website, or over the phone: (800) 782-4356, or by fax: (313) 865-5927

I think only the 99, 00 and 01 are on sale 'til 12/31, that's why I suggested the 01/02 might be the same?????

Problem is there is a ton of "self proclaimed" experts here that have no clue what they are talking about.

Stick with the Helms manual for accurate repair help.
