My car is a front wheel drive with a clutched 5 speed.
The 3 things I see coming is; #1 excess wear on clutch from jump starting on the roll.
#2 excess wear on motor mounts being front drive.
#3 excess wear on key and ignition switch.
So im still in work on this having a bit of trouble finding a harness diagram that shows what and where. Start is really simple catch it pre neutral safety switch.
I may just catch shut down injectors in bottom side of fuse box but prefer to find a print and get it it harness instead.
I can answer some of your concerns.
1. I have done EXTENSIVE bump-starting for years in my Civic. The clutch is still fine at 199,000 miles.
2. I haven't noticed any problem with the motor mounts.
3. My ignition switch was fine, but I did wear one key fairly heavily. It was getting notchy in the switch so I swapped it out for the spare - problem solved.
