Suggestions on repair manuals?

I bought a Haynes repair manual this afternoon and it does not cover my engine, DOHC VE30DE. It is the manual for 1993 thru 2001 Maxima's. In the "stickies", Chilton's does not get a glowing report. Any suggestions for a repair manual?
Additionally, there was a reference to a sticky concerning AT shifter bushings. I cannot find this, can someone direct me to it? Thanks!

get a FSM. If you look on ebay, you can find one like this:

93 FSM

Shoot me a PM and I might be able to help

The 85-92 Chilton's manual covers the VE, and I think it is superior to the FSM when it comes to procedures for more minor jobs, because it has more detailed write-ups, while the FSM has more detailed diagrams and covers engine teardowns and transmission rebuilds in much greater detail. I almost wish I never gave my Chilton's to the kid who bought my first Maxima. I will definitely say the Haynes is the worst of the three.
