I don't think the Miata transmission is prone to failure to begin with. The
arguement of "not using MTL will lead to transmission failure" is a weak
one.

However, I don't think there's enough evidence to suggest a correlation
between switch failure and the use of MTL without having a baseline
response from those who don't use MTL. The survey was unscientific. For all
we know, a 25% backup light switch failure occurance may just be a Miata
fact of life.

Also, I'm not prepared to handle the mail from non-MTL users in order to
create that baseline response. :-)
