I got a Leitz minolta CL, but the lower shutter speeds are pretty sticky sometimes. The VF can use a good cleaning too. Where can I send this off for a CLA? Or does anyone have a repair manual?

DAG is your man. He's got the skills. He has the parts & can do the battery conversion too.
 
DAG or Gus Lazzari are my choices. DAG will be faster and maybe cheaper, although Gus worked on two CLs for me and they came back in amazing condition, I could easily have assumed that's what the original owners experienced when opening the boxes 45+ years ago when they were new.
 
There's a YT video

By coincidence, I just cleaned the haze off the viewfinder on my CL. Watched and followed this video on YT (Mikeno62) on cleaning the slow gear, which requires top to be removed:

DAG has done great lens work for me, highly recommended.

I Love watching Mikeno62 videos on youtube. It can be on equipment that i have no interest in, but he does such a great job i can't stop watching.
 
Thank you everyone, I will contact DAG. I dont want this to be gone for too long as it is currently my only M mount camera.
