You almost make me feel sorry for you having to drive / learn ‘Stick’ !
Learners in the UK are taught stick and if you take you test in an auto, that’s all your licence lets you drive.
Clutch wear / box damage is not classed as a major problem unless your doing something seriously wrong …
Driven properly clutches last for ages. My other car is still on the original clutch, it has 84K on the clock with 290bhp and four wheel drive i.e. lots of stress when launching as wheel spin is near impossible in dry conditions.
Learners seem to cause the problems by slipping the clutch a lot during starts and changing gear or driving with their foot resting on the clutch slightly reducing its clamping force.
Cut out the above and you will be OK, just don’t try 5th to 2nd to often …
