You only have to overfill the transmission fluids, which my NA Miata mechanic did for me by jacking up my Miata on one side. You also have to leave the key in the ignition turned to ACC to override the locking steering wheel. By the way, it's for sale. Excellent condition if anyone is interested.
My Miata was a NA6 model and I was wondering if anyone knows if I need custom fabricated engine moun Car will stall when coming to a stop, down shifting to turn and also stalls when go Content submitted by Users is not endorsed by CarGurus, does not express the opinions of CarGurus, and should not be considered reviewed, screened, or approved by CarGurus.

I can understand the lube issue after looking at a transmission diagram it looks like there is nothing to throw lube if none of the lower gears are turning. Thoughts I have are adding a lube pump to spray lube high and trickle down or a drive shaft disconnect.
I hate to have to buy a new car for this after buying the motorhome. This smarty pants thought he had it all figured out! Then I did the research Attached Thumbnails. You may also like:.

Rating Towing Miata by: Spectre We have a Miata, with a 4 cylinder 5 speed manual transmission. It has a Roadmaster tow bar that attaches to the base plates. To tow it I only have to turn the key on then off and not pull the key out of the ignition but leave it in the office position.
This prevents the locking of the ssteering wheel. If you pull the key out of the ignition the steering wheel will lock. I used hard eelectrical conduit grey and ran it under the fframe securing it with tie wraps. I pulled the wiring to a magnetic mount taillight set through the conduit then it connects to a 4 way plug using a 7 pin to 4 way flat adapter on the motorhome plug. I place the magnet mount taillight on the luggage carrier on the trunk of the Miata.
I have had three Miatas: 2 5sp. I have built two towbar brackets I used Harbor Freight tow bars which work just fine. I was considering the use of a 12V pump mounted in the tranny cooler line to keep transmission fluid continuously flowing through the radiator, making sure flow direction is correct.
Yet I see no reason why that would not do the job. It would necessary to test it for assurance Battery disconnected, key turned on, in neutral. Perhaps someday something will fail, but for now it continues to be a bullet-proof little car. Rating Miata flat tow by: Jerry Add a drive shaft disconnect from Remco and you should be good to go. Rating Towing Miata mx5 four down by: Anonymous So I tried towing my 5 speed Miata, I used synthetic and blew up the tranny after miles.
I put an adaptor to overfill the tranny and that used all the power. I did an autopsy on the old tranny and discovered the only- I repeat only way to tow it was with the engine in the Miata idling while it was being towed.
What happens is the syncro gears 1st and rev destroyed with no lube that high in the transmission. With the engine idling the gears low and midway up the transmission also lube the top gears which turn the output shaft.
Rating towing an mx 5 miata by: Anonymous I have a 32 foot RV with a towing dolly. I see here that most have had no issues flat towing all 4 wheels down their Miata. Codrus said: Putting the rears on the dolly and the fronts on the ground is theoretically possible, but you need a way to lock the steering the key is generally not thought to be very reliable at this or else it will swing around.
I remember seeing a thing about people stealing cars where the steering wheel locks could be broken with a sufficient yank on the wheel I wouldn't trust it holding the wheels over potholes at speed They want this.
