Default How to obtain a complete Honda Service Bulletin

Does anyone on H-T know how to obtain a complete Honda Service Bulletin for a 92 Civic DX M/T? Would a Honda Dealer have this kind of resource and sell it. Thanks in Advance.

You don't. Honda has strict controls on TSBs. Ocassionally a site will pop up with them on PDF. Although, when I was having a specific problem on my car, I looked up the TSB number, and was able to get the guy at the parts counter to print it up for me because I 'needed to get the part number'.

A service bulletin is something published by the manufacture for something specific to the vehicle. I'm not sure I follow what you mean when asking how to obtain a "complete Honda service bulletin".. Are you asking how to obtain a list of all the service bulletins available for your car? If so, no, you aren't going to buy it from the dealer. They can check your vin and see if you car qualifies for anything, but thats it. Just because there is a bulletin doesn't mean you run down to the dealer because in most cases, your car isn't in the qualifying vin range. If its severe, Honda will notify you via mail.

Like I said, definitely not the whole thing. I have been able to finagle one from a parts guy. If you're having a specific problem, you might be able to get one for it. Sometimes websites will pop up with the whole listing on PDF, but they don't usually last long before getting shut down.

There is a reason they don't publish them so freely. Too many people assume they have an issue once they read them then rush to the dealer only to be "let down"...
