Manual shifter in Gump, so first gear is going to toast before anything
else. Old car, going to need a tranny rebuild some day

That's hard to say. Generally, everything wears faster when the car
is pushed harder, but driving at low RPM builds up carbon which can
kill an engine over time. The tranny usually shifts more crisply when
accelerating hard, so it's probably a matter of which thing you want
to replace, a carboned-up engine or a transmission.
Anyone care to jump in on this one?
