dave, i think what he's saying is he needs to swap from his 4speed to an auto because he has junk knees, and the only options are a c-6 or an e40d.

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.

let me dumb this down for joe

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

Your hand will never be strong enough to use a hand clutch without a electric/hydraulic or other helping aid.

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.
