Contents
It lacks some information. The descriptions and illustrations are stored completely separately. You need to click links to see the illustrations, which is kind of annoying. There aren’t enough illustration, anyway. Wiring diagrams are comprehensive. Unlike pro-version of Mitchell online manual, wiring diagrams are not color-coded.
Vehicle Coverage
Mitchell1diy has coverage on most domestic and imported vehicles sold in the U.S. in 1983 and later
Design
The design is a bit complicated, strange, and unfriendly. From the main index, you can go to the pages. All pages are large volume, but each page has Headings so you can jump to the area of specific information you are looking for. However, I don’t know why Headings are located on the bottom of the pages. I suggest using Headings instead of scrolling down pages to save you time.
Navigation
When you click the Back to Article button, which exists on all illustration pages, it takes you to the top of the description pages, not the area you left. Clicking back button of the browser takes you to the area you left. Other than that, all links work fine, but the design of the manual makes everything difficult to use.
Search
You will get a list of pages as search result. In the page, you will see the word(s) highlighted. but for the design of the manual makes everything difficult to use.

It’s just hard to read, see, and navigate on mobile devices because of the design of the manuals.
