Narrative:
While installing the elevator feel computer; maintenance manual (MM) 27-31-19 called out 4 tasks to perform; to complete the test for the elevator feel system and autopilot authority. We were preparing to do force check per 27-00-31. While pulling up the MM for that task; I noticed that something was incorrect. The MM pages between 580K and 582M were missing and we discovered other pages were out of order. Therefore we were unable to accomplish the forces check; because these were the pages that had the force and travel limits on them.
