I see no way to fix this with either duct tape or baling wire so you'll
have to take it to the dealer where they have heavy duty duct tape! <G>

It's definitely a bad tranny, don't put off fixing it.

Yikes! Yes, that needs to be fixed immediately. Never seen that on a
Miata before. Don't you love cameras?

I sometimes take pictures as I take things apart while doing car and
other repairs and reference them when re-assembling everything.

It can make life a lot easier. I wish that I had my digital camera and
computer over 20 years ago when I first started working on my cars.
