So the replacement plastic line is good? Wouldn't it crack justlike the rubber / plastic line. I couldn't find that line in aluminum only copper.

When I swapped out all my hoses about 5 years ago, the replacement for the return hose was plastic all the way from the reservoir to about 5 inches before it reaches the top rad. hose. It's a different design and I assume a different plastic used. I've kept my eye on it over the years. Its been on my car since Jan. 2014 and 150,000 miles. It doesn't seem anymore brittle than the day I installed it. The original hose was on the car for 8 years and 230,000 miles. I still have the original, the plastic seems good to this day.

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."
