Loud noise from transmission in 4th gear from 3500 - 4000 RPM at full throttle. Mazda claims this is normal and after driving 10 seperate 99 miata's this noise is not normal. The noise is present on all 99 miata's but the loudness varies. On my miata the noise is 2 -3 times as loud as all other 99 miata's I have driven.
After driving at highway speeds for more than an hour, if I stop the car, put it in neutral, and take my foot off the clutch, I hear a loud rattling noise what sounds like a bad release bearing. When I press the clutch pedal to the floor, the noise stops.

Vehicle was in tow behind my rv, when the transmission failed, causing both rear wheels to lock up.vehicle had been in tow for 278 miles at the time of failure.when I was purchasing the vehicl, I made all concerned aware that I was intending to tow the vehicle behind my motor home. Nothing was sais of any special conditions regarding the towing. Mazda refuses to even investigate the failure, stating that they feel it was caused by the towing. A tecnical representative admitted however, that the same failre could have accured if the vehicle had been coasting, with the engine off. Since I was in the far right lane of the interstate. I was able to bring the unit to a safe stop. If I had been in another lane, or in the process of changing lanes, the result could have been disastorus.
