Something like what you see in rally racing or Rolex DP cars, where you simply push forward or pull backward to change gears. Obviously, you couldn't skip gears, but I tend not to do that on the street or on the track.
I'm not sure if those setups are clutchless, and I doubt that I'd care either way (keeping the clutch would be the much easier mod, obviously). I think that you could eliminate mis-shifts that way.
Anyway, maybe Istook or Champion developed them for the race cars, but has it gone further than that? I don't recall whether those cars used them anyway...

Interesting. Just sent them an email about their V.A.G. 6-speed synchro setup.
I wonder if it would work on our cars? I'd want it to fit under the stock shift boot, though. Still a street car for me...

LOL - I just left-clicked on the picture on their site, opening a new window.
I right-clicked on that new window, clicked on properties, and copied the URL to post here.
