Check the other thread linked above for a follow up of getting both engine manuals and the transmission one.

In short, it's a PITA because you have to download one section at a time for each manual.

RM733E consists of 230 pdf documents and both RM733E documents are the same, get the one labeled 2000 just in case. I ended up with only 229 in the 1999 one but maybe i did miss a link.

RM929E consists of 29 pdf documents.

RM930E consists of 16 pdf documents.

I also got all the SDS for both the Celica and the Corolla, also some electrical documents where it refered to the 2ZZ-GE engine. And also RM925E the corolla repair document I tried to get all the sections in connection with the 2ZZ-GE engine and the C64 transmision. Including intake, exhaust, etc...

Allow yourself a lot of time to do this because it's a lot of right clicks and save as. As well as having a directory ready for each document because acrobat tends to freeze if you try to create a directory from it's save as dialog.

Also you have to log-in after each document because it will probably time you out, so don't forget your username and password.

When creating the account it doesn't list the US in the country list, I placed UK instead and since may address and zip code was the right one for my credit card it went through with no problems.

Once you find the document, there should be a link to view it, that will open a window in full screen with navigation links of the left and the pdf contents on the right, you can right click on the navigation links and save as and put them on your prepared folder. some other are tricky and you have to actually display the pdf document and use the acrobat save button to place it in the right place (only the electrical stuff IIRC, not the main documents).

After you are done downloading all the pdf files, make sure you have the navigation tree as expanded as possible, right click on the background of that panel and do a select all, then control-c to copy and paste in word, it will maintain the hyperlinks, you can then save it as an html file in the directory you prepared, for example I called the one for the engine RM733Eindex.htm

Then you have to edit that html document and remove the remote link to the european server leaving only the name of the pdf file so that it can access it directly from your computer.

I know it's a lot of work, but worth it for me, maybe Ground Loop knows of a way to do everything automatically, I couldn't retreive the whole trees with wget so AFAIK it has to be done manually.

Edit: sorry for putting so many things in bold, but it's a pain to do this and you better read this message in detail before trying to do it. I won't be back on my computer until Monday so good luck
