But, unless you special ordered the car, you aren't +1 the number sold. If it's a spec car, it would have sold anyway. It's not like there is a secret lot where all the unsold MT transmission cars go to die or something.

Now if you are special ordering the car, then yes, you MAY be contributing to the overall volume, but even then, it's likely not. The Manufacturer already has planned how many MT cars the plan to build in a given model year, and now just configure one of them to your specific requirements.
