Hey all, this is just nuts, but I am having the dickens of a time finding a repair manual for my Evo IX. I've checked auto parts stores, and they don't have one, and can't even order one. Chilton's does not even publish one. There is some screwy computer subscription service that offers an Evo manual, which cost me $30 but it totally sucks. The diagrams are tiny and unreadable and hard to find stuff. I've also gone to the dealer, and all they could come up with was an electrical repair supplement manual. They also said their mechanics use a special shop manual that is not for sale to the public. So if anyone on these forums have a decent manual, I'd appreciate knowing where you got it, and what part number it is. Thanks!

 

ebay... its like 10 bucks but its on cd

 

helms sells the cd with everything you could ever want to know about the evo on it

 

Got mine on CD 3 years ago on ebay, paid $5 shipped I think for a IX. Easy to use, like it better the actual manuals. 3 years still works fine.

 

Yep, as others have said ebay the cd rom manual. It's excellent and very reasonably priced. It looks like if you want to now you can opt for instant download instead of waiting for the CD.

Here's a sample picture.

 

Niiice. Thanks everyone, this is very helpful! Can't believe I didn't think to try ebay, since I've already bought so many auto parts off there.

 

try searching on google u can find free pdf downloads

 

If the online ebay evo shop manual is anything like the sti manual, it's awesome. Being in a searchable format is nice since it's easier to type a search in for what you're looking for vs. manual searching through the pages.

 

Just an update. I went to the link below, purchased, and downloaded the manual. It turns out the download only gave me a supplemental update document, not the full manual! The cover page of the downloaded document clearly states that it is a supplement, and looking through the doc, it is obviously not a complete manual. There is nothing about brakes and clutch lines, and the wheels and tires section only talks about how to remove flat repair fluid from the tire. I've emailed the vendor to ask for the full manual, hope I'm not screwed for the $5. I will post an update when this is resolved.

BTW, thanks to the other guy for the google suggestion, but I don't like pirating stuff. Everyone has their comfort level and this is just me. I won't judge you for your choice, and hope u understand.

Thanks again everyone!

 

Ok, here is another update. The Ebay vendor, dexlab10, just sent me a refund. He said he had no other manual to offer me. I am very puzzled by this outcome, because JohnDoe1984 has provided a screen shot of his manual, and it is not the same thing that I downloaded. The downloaded document that I got clearly states that it is a supplement on the cover page. Just wondering if JohnDoe1984 bought his manual from another, similar-looking Ebay listing? Would appreciate a reply to this!
