The last 40,000 miles on my car were added using bump starting nearly all the time. I still drive with the original clutch. I did change the transmission, but that was to get taller gearing, not because of any unusual wear. Look up "PaleMelanesian" here on EM and his former car, the palecivic. He drove all bump starting all the time for years in a car with a transmission and clutch virtually identical to yours without any problems. He drives a fit now, but not because of transmission failure.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
