Interesting. How do you know the old one was not keeping the timing chain in proper tension, and if the new one is keeping better tension on the chain? I'd bet the chain, if it does stretch, elongates just a millimeter or two in the first few thousand miles and then stays there.

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."
