sounds like your transmission may be in limp mode and so refuses to
shift up. this problem could be a simple electrical issue. i looked in
the rod's manual for suggestions on how to troubleshoot but they seem to
wash their hands of automatics and merely state that the car should not
be driven but taken to a transmission specialist for diagnostic. they
note that the transmission should be left in place (in the car) for
diagnostic purposes. if it comes to it, www.planet-miata.com has used
automatic transmissions available for $300. let us know how it works out.
