I think you'll find it's been years if not decades since there was a Camry available with a manual transmission

And that would just wear a bearing/spring system or the clutch, which are all repairs that are far cheaper than the cost of an automatic transmission replacement.

But idling an automatic shouldn’t be a problem. It’s a fluid turbine.
