Its probably setup like a heavy vehicle auto with clutch to start off. It means you dont have to run a 600" TC to deal with the engine torque, but they bang into the next gear without declutching.
first drag car i had ran a 'clutch-flite' and it still had the cool push-button shifter from a dodge, and a 40lb flywheel!!! (just remembering back I think i was 19, so yeah it was a loooooooong time ago).
We used to have one of these in an old Daimler Consort 1952 model.
If the gearbox was full electronically controlled this could be interlinked to the clutch pedal for rapid gear changes allowing both hand to be free for manouvering after preselecting the gear.
Addit: would have to ask...where does the fluid pressure to operate the hydraulics come from if the clutch is disengaged
Interesting idea.....
