Coasting will not hurt the manual tranny. I've put hundreds of coasting miles on my old Su and it was going strong until rear ended at 240,000 miles. I also noticed a strong smell of gas when starting after a long engine off coast. Don't know what to say about that. Might not be good for the cat, but mine had died 100,000 miles before.
