The thing we forget here is that the mean time between failure on manual transmissions vs automatics is so far in favor of the manual that it is not even funny. I replaced my clutch in my current ride at 96,000 miles, and did the replacement myself with the help of a friend and $400. It wore out that soon because I learned how to drive stick on that car, and so did my then girlfriend, now fiance. The clutch, no matter how many bump starts I perform on it, will never incur the abuse that it did when two people learned how to drive on it. Enough said.
