I remember discussing a hand clutch here once when I was thinking it for the old 74 econoline van I had. Genneral consensous was bad idea

squeeze the clutch handle, change gears, release clutch.
but this will only work with a short throw shifter.
if you have a supertrucker shifter that is 2 inches from the roof, it will be a little tough.

you mount the hand clutch on the shifter, looks similar to a brake lever on a pedal bike. grab shifter pistol grip style, squeeze clutch in, shift, and then release lever

I was just thinking the same thing. But imagine having the lever operate a rheostat, controlling a little motor that operates the throw-out lever. Set it up so it disengages at full speed and engages in sync with the hand lever.
