Am I the only one?

I think it would be overkill. The average vehicle owner will never disassemble their transmission, and don't need to have the cost of a several-hundred-page manual added to the cost of the vehicle.

I would say that my mechanical experience is above average, and I can't tell you the number of times I've gone into a FSM to figure out how (the FUCK) to remove a widget to repair it, and find that the FSM just says "remove widget", or "use Special Tool # 6184-A to remove widget".

However, there seems to be a new trend of removing anything at all mechanical- like oil change instructions- from the owner's manuals, and I don't approve of that at all.

Motor:
1: one that imparts motion; specifically : prime mover
2: any of various power units that develop energy or impart motion: as a: a small compact engine b: internal combustion engine; especially : a gasoline engine c: a rotating machine that transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy

In Aerospace Engineering, they call rockets "motors" as well.
