I see you live in NYC, so maybe that has something to do with it, but engine mounts rarely go bad. Mine are original at 318,000 miles. At 297,000 I did the oil pan gasket, which necessitates removing the mounts from the subframe. I checked them when free of the subframe and hanging off the engine. The looked in fine shape. IIRC the mounts are hydraulic so they'd be leaking if they were bad. Any possibility the shop is blowing smoke?

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."
