Owners manual

[Tookie]

Being a Cavalier owner, I've normally posted to that forum; but I am now the proud owner of another Chevy creation; a 1993 Chevy Lumina 4dr witha 3.2L. It's in good shape too. It'll sit nicely next to my two 94 Cavys.
Here's my predicament.
I need an owners manual. I can't see myself buying one; but I can see myself plowing through a couple of junkyards more than 60K away if all else fails. (not that it wouldn't be great fun, eh?...lol)
But: These forums have yet to let me down. So, can anyone link me to a site where I can download one; or would someone offer to E one to me.
Then there's the little [D] next to the regular D on the gear indicator in the dash. What does the [D] offer me?
The rest I can figure out if I need to; but that [D] got me pegged huh?
For the record, I don't mind sending a few bucks for a mailed one to someone in this forum; or paying the postage, as long as I don't have to pay Big Brother and his corporate leaguers for something that should be made available to collectors and drivers of a line of fine vehicles at no cost. After all, I think we folk kinda maintain a little bit of history for each vehicle we restore and exercise.

ACK!

3.1L ...?

Still a Lumina rookie...heh heh.

The little D actually has a big O around it to indicate the OverDrive tranny selection. Most all new automatics have this for fuel economy. Many times its just a torque converter lockup feature to lower the engine RPMs when the computer senses cruising cnditions. Its like an extra gear. You mostly drive in [D], unless you are working the car very hard, such as towing, climing mountainous terrain that causes constant shifting, a lot of big fatties in the back seat, racing around town with much downshifting, etc.. Constant shifting in and out of OverDrive can burn it out. Or, you can drive around in just "D" (third gear, no further) if you have a lot of extra money for these ridiculous gas prices.................

Which leads me to the question..........when are they coming out with the Lumina Hybrid retro kit?? Yeah right!!

Thanks. I expect I'll be using that [D] quite often over xmas, while transporting family etc. Cruise control is onboard, so I expect the gear will be used then.
I'm going to have fun bringing this new addition "up to snuff", seeing as the seller included another I could use for spare parts.
