I am pretty certain that the car would have failed if it had been...

right price and picked it up tonight! I'm rather excited but I'll try not to

2002 MX5 Transmission noise by
The Invisible Man
I have never seen it mentioned here but my 1.8 has a whine apparently
from the transmission at low revs mainly in the lower gears particularly
when the throttle is feathered.
About 25,000 recorded miles.
Anyone got a similar noise or know what it is?
Thanks for any help

Mazda's 2+2 RX-8
The rotary engine disappeared from Mazda's lineup when the RX-7 was
retired in 1995, but is back -- more refined, more powerful and more
efficient than ever -- in the RX-8.

Another Clutch Sound by
Dave Christian
I've got a '90 Miata and the other day while driving I felt
something hit my left foot.
When I stopped, I found what looked like a broken, plastic washer.
There are three things I notice
1. When I depress the clutch, it makes a "click."
2. The clutch has more play in it.
