"Chugging" could be a myriad of problems. For me these symptoms ended up as transmission failure, but i understand this is less likely with manuals. Could be a precursor to engine failure though. I would go into a certified tech/dealer service for diagnostics. I would not risk going to anotger mechanic. Pay the $100 for assessment by the right people.

Whens the last time you changed your spark plugs and have have you identified the cel code? A $5 bluetooth plig and a free ap for android can read codes. Otherwise places like autozone 9lwill often read codes free. If it's a misfire code most likely bad oligs ate the culprit l.

 

[concept]

Before you assume anything, take a look under the hood. Look for split/disconnected vacuum lines and loose spark plug wire boots. Have that code read by an auto parts store (no cost).
