The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Excellent. Now I can actually start working on my cars again with confidence. YouTube videos really are inadequate.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

I didn’t realize I would have a link in an email to click to get another email with another link to download.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Item as described quick delivery

Every figure in this factory service and repair manual is tied to the 1997 Mazda Miata as it left the line, this model year, this 1.8L four-cylinder and the trim you own, so a clearance, a torque value or a tightening sequence taken from it is what Mazda specified for the car in your garage rather than a number carried over from an adjacent year.

Engines covered

  • 1.8L inline-four — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 2-door convertible

Trims covered

  • Base
  • M Edition
  • STO

Known issues on the 1997 Miata. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it concerns exterior lighting: certain Pro-A Motors corner lamps, turn signals and headlights sold as replacement lamps include combination lamps that are not equipped with amber side reflectors and therefore fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment. Without the amber reflectors the vehicle will be poorly illuminated, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash without warning. Owners have filed 2 complaints for the year, and the factory procedure for diagnosing and repairing the lighting circuit is the one reproduced here.

From confirming that a replacement lamp assembly meets the original lighting specification to routine work on the 1.8L four-cylinder or the convertible body, it keeps you on the OEM procedure written for this exact 1997 Miata.
