So the dealers ought to be sending the dudes on the tranny line to your seminars!
I recall when I was in Ford training after I got out of the service, we didn't even go into manual transimissions, only automatics. This was back in the mid '70s. It was probably because there was more money in doing auto-tranny services where with the manual all you mostly ever did was change the oil once in a while.
