He said Nissans' observation is that people with MT down shift more than those who drive AT's. Higher revolutions and making the engine work harder wears out faster. (Yeah no kidding). So I asked him about the SRM and should I not use it during break in. Answer: The SRM helps with engine break in and smooth shifting.

I am not 100% sure he was actually a real engineer.
