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.
