You're dead on balls accurate with the 135.
I think you're right about the lack of a clutch pedal. I've been driving around my parents TSX (JDM Accord, y0!) and its not that bad. Of course, the steering/handling of the TSX makes the wagon feel like the fat pig that it is.
My wife is trying to talk me off the ledge into keeping the wagon, she is a fully on board member of the manual transmission preservation society as well. She also wants another 135... I would do all kinds of moose stuff for a 1M.
