MS3 Shop/Service Manual

[2ManyCars]

Does anyone know where I can purchase a good service manual for the MS3? I've done some searching online and only see a Chilton manual from 2004...

We need to find a kind and kindred soul that works at a dealership to upload one here. Any takers.

Or better yet, a chip in account. I know it electronic, or an electronic one exists, I was looking up some parts at the dealership and they were showing it to me. Pretty neat stuff.

All we need to do is get our hands on one of those electronic copies and get it up here.

I think someone did that a while back and there were copyright concerns. I'm looking for an actual book...

I bought my 2008 MS3 Factory Shop Manual from Justin Owen at MazdaPartsZone.com. The manual cost $150 and does not cover the transaxle and engine internals, those are detailed in separate volumes that I will eventually acquire. I also got the wiring diagram book in the same transaction for another $70. Both books cover the standard 3 as well as the Mazdaspeed 3. Shipping was free and very quick.

And before anyone asks.... No, I am not interested in running afoul of any copyright laws OR in scanning 10 pounds of paper.

There is also a Mazda "service highlights" book for 2007 that has some very good technical information on the MS3.
