Tim, Is Miata one of those where the transmission really isn't lubricating itself being towed in Neutral, Engine Off? But idling the engine every so often with the clutch engaged in Neutral, spins oil back onto those parts that don't lube being towed. My Nissan Frontier is like that with it's 5-speed manual. The Honda CR-V is like that with its automatic. That's why the lube-it-up process is to be done right before getting underway. NOT "I towed 300 miles today, let me lube up tonight so I can tow 300 more tomorrow."
If the Miata is like that, and the owner didn't lube up, I can see where something would run dry and seize.
