For a vehicle older than say 5 years usually the dealer doesnt have them anymore for sale, as the model has gone thru its update or change...Off the net from some online vendors sometimes but usually EBAY...

try http://www.books4cars.com/ . They ship to canada and they have the factory Mazda workshop manuals. A little expensive though.

Yeah. There are dealer service maunals on CD for Honda's, DSM's, etc. for cheap all of the time on ebay.

I bought mine from the dealer. It's a Mazda factory manual, not some crap like Chilton or Haynes. Expect to pay over a hundred bucks. Worth every penny!

Go to Canadian Tire and get the Hayes Repair Manual.
They come in specific year ranges for your particular car:thumbsup:

screw that! the chilton/hayes manual is CRAP, the shop manual is amazing, it gives you full details and pictures on everysingle part on the car, and step by step instructions on what to do. You could do a tranny swap yourself with this manual.
