Difference between TSM and MR251?
« on: July 21, 2012, 02:04:09 PM »
Hope to be buying an Eagle soon and a TSM will be one of my first purchases to go with it. I see on this forum they're used interchangeably.

Is MR251 the TSM? I can find plenty of them for sale but nothing specifically for the year I'm thinking about buying.


TIA

The MR251 is basically the 1984-and-up Eagle TSM.  Of course a lot of stuff in the MR251 also applies to the earlier years; but not all of it.   If you are getting an earlier year Eagle, I'd get the particular-year TSM.   1980, '81, '82 are all full fat manuals covering all AMC passenger car models, but the '83 is just a "supplement" to the '82 manual (so if you have a 1983 Eagle, you'd need both the '82 and '83 manuals to be covered).

Only wiring diagram and emission related stuff should be different from early to late models.
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

Thank you both. I picked up an 88 wagon yesterday and have ordered MR251. :)
