Long story short...I took it to the dealership and the transmission case is cracked. The estimate is $4,800, if anyone can poiint me in the direction of a used transmission or used case (since my internals are fine) I would greatly appreciate it.
Is this a somewhat rare but regular occurrence with the Xfire? I also have a Miata NB, and regularly read/troll the Miata forum, but this occurence is none with those, and most Miatas are manual, and driven hard (myself included), including motocross racing.
