I also recommend bump starting your car, though I have only been doing it for a short while, it does save a significant amount of additional wear on the starter. There is only a marginal amount of wear added to the transmission if you use the highest gear to bump start, I find that any speed above 20 MPH use 5th gear, any slower and you may have to use 4th or even 3rd.
