hand clutch?
This may sound dumb, as the obvious answer is, "just get an automatic."
Is there such a thing as a hand clutch for less-abled persons (such as a
bad left knee) to operate a manual transmission? Seriously, I know there
are folks here who are devout adherents of the manual tranny, so the
desire can be somewhat understandable (I hope).

Re: hand clutch?
Hi Brian,
Where there's a will there's a way.
European fords and Citron from the sixties, use a vacuum diaphragm
operated with a little rubber button on the floor, same with the Nash in
the forties.
A friend, Walt Drew, took his '63 Chevy wagon, 327" four speed and
qualified for that year's NHRA Winter Nationals, born with something
like Cerebral Palsy, that weaken his legs so that he couldn't stand, but
he's prop his foot on the clutch and use both hands to depress that
knee. He wasn't to live to be a teenager, but the need for speed kept
him alive until fifty.

Re: hand clutch?
Yes, there are professionally made hand controls for vehicles. They are
very well made and are for folks without the full use of their legs.
I have used one that did the brake and throttle on an automatic. It was
a push for brake and and a twist grip throttle right where a column gear
shift sits. These bolt onto the column and use a lever system for the
pedal.
I am sorry I don't know the maker, maybe Google.com would have an
answer.
