[Miata] transmission fluid change

[Larry Alster]

The problem isn't seals the problem is will the new fluid churn up junk 
inside the tranny.

If you were to go to a oil change place with that many miles on the fluid 
they are going to make you sign a waiver that they aren't responsible for 
the tranny failures.

My personal opinion would be to leave well enough alone.  As long as the 
tranny is working fine leave it alone.
