If you do downshift right you shouldn't have any clutch problems. But excessive clutchage will definatly wear it out faster.

Re: Manual vs Auto

I was faced with the decision between a black auto ex and a black manual ex the day I got my car. I chose auto because i didn't know how to drive stick at the time. A few months after, my friend taught me how to drive stick in his 97 mustang gt, and now i'm kicking myself for not getting the stick. Mt next car will be stick for sure.

Re: Manual vs Auto

I dont know how people say "auto driver not by choice" or "i was forced to drive auto" Seriosuly... Was there nothing else on the lot? Shutup- there are other lots! Were you just handed a car? If so, rejoyce!
