I think somebody might had missed a shift. The old bug autosticks
came with manual box and clutch, has a sensitive sensor
built into shifter handle (according what I see in bug/bus aircooled
newsgroups), touch it effectively "pushes clutch in" instead of your
left foot. It's electronics/vacuum operated and very crankerous to
maintain.

Chrysler is working on and patented number of them on an
"automanualic" using clutches instead of converter. I'm watching
that with keen interest. It's there in www.allpar.com
