It would really be almost impossible to actually break or even seriously damage a modern synchro manual gearbox, or any other part of the drivetrain.
Over the years, I have BADLY abused some vehicles, and the worst I ever did was snap a U-joint.

Curious about the stress on the engine, tranny from the eventual engine stalls and slipping the clutch for all those learning the manual. I mean ... do you teach someone in a BRAND NEW CAR?
