   As there is no facility to work a clutch pedal, hand controls must generally be used in cars with automatic transmissions. One exception is the GuidoSimplex Semi-Automatic Syncro Drive Clutch System [ 2 ] along with an over/under ring accelerator [ 3 ] and hand controlled brake, a car with a manual gearbox can be adapted.

   This technique ensures that maximum power can be reached the instant the brake pedal is released and the accelerator fully depressed. Rowing is the technique of downshifting more than one gear along with the heel-and-toe technique to provide engine braking and smoother deceleration/braking while in the intermediate gears.

   Once set, the driver must keep the clutch pedal fully depressed but may remove the foot from the brake pedal. To disengage the system and move the car forward, the driver selects first gear, gently depresses the gas pedal, and slowly releases the clutch pedal which at a point in its travel releases the braking system, allowing the car to proceed.

The purpose of a clutch is in part to allow such control; in particular, a clutch provides transfer of torque between shafts ...

6. Left-foot braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-foot_braking

   Left-foot braking is the technique of using the left foot to operate the brake pedal in an automobile, leaving the right foot dedicated to the throttle pedal. [1] It contrasts with the practice of using the left foot to operate the clutch pedal, leaving the right foot to share the duties of controlling both brake and gas pedals.

7. Automated manual transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_manual_transmission

   Automated manual transmissions can be semi-automatic or fully-automatic in operation. Several different systems to automate the clutch and/or shifting have been used over the years, but they will generally use one of the following methods of actuation for the clutch and/or shifting: hydraulic or electro-hydraulic actuation, [12] electro-mechanical, [13] pneumatic, [6] [14] [15] electromagnetic ...
