Sometimes you cannot always believe what you see in print.
e.g. page 2-13 in the Helms (97-98 edition) shows the gear ratios for the 5Gen transmission:
1st: 3.285
2nd: 1.956
3rd: 1.344
4th: 1.304
5th 0.812
Notice how close 3rd and 4th are? It's an obvious misprint. IIRC, the correct ratio for 4th is 1.034. I believe this mistake is in all editions of the Helms manual, but I could be wrong.
Another thing I recall is that the oil control orifices in the head are shown backwards. I ruined one installing it as shown in the Helms. I need to double check, but I'm pretty positive this was the case, unless I just wasn't paying close enough attention (which is always a possibility).
Rumor in the press was that the autos had different cams than the Base and SH.

Auto:
Intake PN: 14111-P5M-A00
Exhaust PN: 14121-P5M-000
However, SL Honda shows the same damn part numbers. Go figure.

Sorry if I was a prick. But i am standing by the fact that they do have different part numbers. I can just not prove it at this time.
