1. Uhh, I have never heard of anyone on this site claim they have had to replace their ignition due to turning off their car.
2. How did you come to this conclusion exactly? To my knowledge you have to press the clutch in a scenario where you would shift from gear, into neutral then back into gear, and if your talking about doing it for EOC, I bump start using my clutch and then release. Don't see how that adds any extra wear and tear.
3. Maybe so but that's what warranties are for. Wear them out sooner than guarantee runs out and no big deal
