From a cost perspective, every job is more expensive as a DIY job than taking it to a pro. Especially now that I don't have access to as many tools as I used to, most jobs I would normally have done are a pain anyways.
This is based on calculating your professional salary hourly rate times the hours it takes to complete a DIY project?

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
