Towing a Miata ND
I think there are at least TWO Miata ND owners here who RV tow their cars. IF so, would you please PM me? I've got a couple of questions. Thanks, Tim

Forgive my ignorance but is a Miata ND? Regarding towing, we towed a 1999 Miata with a 6 speed manual transmission and never had a problem. I heard of some folks who towed one with a 5 speed manual though, and they had all kinds of transmission problems, so I concluded that 6 speeds are okay, but 5 speeds aren't.

Thanks for your input Ed, I appreciate it.
I'm sorry but your logic is flawed.
Just because you towed your '99 w/6 speed manual without issues does not mean that every 6 speed transmission can be flat towed. Models change from year to year and sometimes they even change within a model year. Your '99 6 speed is almost assuredly different from a '16 6 speed.
The same flawed logic also applies to your comment about all 5 speeds not being able to be towed...
