1984 Mazda Training Manual

This document last modified July 5, 2005.
I've mentioned this book before, in my web page Further Reading for GSL-SE Owners. It was made available to dealers and dealer mechanics as an introduction to the operating principles in various Mazda vehicles, and to explain some of the changes that came about in the product line during that year. As such, it gets into some much needed background that is seriously lacking in the shop manuals. Over two thirds of the book is devoted to explaining changes in the RX-7 for 1984. The rest deals with other models in the Mazda line-up.

Because the 1984 Mazda Training Manual is long-since out of print, I have made scanned images available here. Note that you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer in order to read these files.
