#16 of 55 Dealer and Power of Attorney by speedy25 Jan 24, 2007 (5:06 pm)
I recently bought my Miatia. During the exchange of paperwork, the salesman had me sign a Power of Attorney. I guess I wasn't thinking straight and I signed it. He didn't give me a copy of it. Is this standard procedure? What is his purpose in getting me to sign this? Do I need to do something about this? Thanks.

Replying to: speedy25 (Jan 24, 2007 5:01 pm) Depends on your budget. I bought the cheaper Les Schwab tires. I can't remember the brand name.   Best winter tire is Nokia Hakkapeliita but it cost $$$. Michelin makes good tires for a little less. Replies to this message: speedy25 (Jan 25, 2007 6:20 pm)

Replying to: speedy25 (Jan 24, 2007 5:06 pm) Depending on the state in which the dealer requested. In 49 States in the US the dealer may have you sign a Power of Attorney without rendering a Copy. Unless you live in Alaska they have to give you a copy of the power of attorney. And it may not have even been legal. I would contact the DMV for you state and ask them for more information on how to proceed with this. I got this information from a friend of mine who is a Drivers services lawyers (figths speeding tickets, license suspensions and Car dealers) How was the car paid for?

Hello! I want to swap a Miata engine and 5 speed into my vintage British ELVA Courier (nee MGA 1500)   I'm looking for a junk block and tranny case to mockup and see if this will work. I'm in Phila / NJ area and will pick up, not ship, the parts.   Anybody have experience with the swap???   Thanks for your time and interest. Victor

#22 of 55 Transmission help by 90miata1 Feb 16, 2007 (8:22 pm)
I have a 90 Miata. I am trying to install the center console and shift boot. The shifter is not centered in the hole on the floor board. It is far left of the hole. Is there a way to move the transmission. The motor mounts are good. Help??
#23 of 55 Transmission Slipping? by mazdaman3 Apr 23, 2007 (6:07 pm)
I've got a '99 Miata 5-speed with 45,000 miles. I bought it last summer with 40,000 miles, and learned to drive a manual on it. Anyway, I started off to work today, and everything was fine until I got to 4th gear at about 45mph, and especially in fifth gear, the car started feeling more and more underpowered. Almost like the clutch was slipping and not connecting to the flywheel. My rpm’s at 60 are higher than I remember, and when I give it some gas, it is very sluggish, the engine revved slowly but my speed didn't accelerate like it should have. Any thoughts/suggestions? Also, how much damage do you think I did and how much do you think the car had when I got it? (I ask this because if I'm the one damaging it, I may just get a new car, because I don’t want to just turn around and replace it in another 5k.) Thanks for your help.

Replying to: mazdaman3 (Apr 23, 2007 6:07 pm) Doesn't sound like a tranny issue to me. Check your clutch for slippage. http://www.ehow.com/how_7687_diagnose-slipping-clutch.html Then, get a good independent mechanic to check it out. Replies to this message: speedy25 (Jul 21, 2007 6:33 pm)
#25 of 55 Re: new 06 Miata mx-5 transmission problem?? [speedy25] by bigbozer1 Jul 20, 2007 (3:15 pm)
Replying to: speedy25 (Jan 06, 2007 2:14 pm) My 1999 10th Anniversary 6-speed spins at 3000 RPM at 60 mph. That is normal. My Lexus ES300 spins at less than 2000 RPM at 60 mph, but then it is a bigger engine. I once had a 1991 Honda prelude with a high revving engine. My wife thouight it was a "slower" car than the Miata simply because the RPMs were high but the engine was strained even at higher RPMs. Replies to this message: speedy25 (Jul 21, 2007 6:31 pm) ateixeira (Jul 23, 2007 6:32 am)
