What a great idea - handy for hill starts too.

Ya I wonder why that never took off. Solves that age old 3 pedals 2 feet problem.

No more broken axles!

HI,
Yes.. because you can let the clutch out some to load the rear end so it doesn't get that hard shock.

I this where the term "knob job" came from?
Inquiring minds want to know...

If they were so great you would think people would be talking about them all the time. Myself this is the first time I have ever seen one.

I'm guessing overheated clutches and the amount of coordination required were the downfall. Definitely too many things for my brain to keep track of.

Lemme see, one hand on the brake and one on the shifter. I hope it leaves straight.

Real race cars have 4.88 gears, that 1-2 shift comes up real quick.

Overheated clutches wouldn't be good.

Back in the day some tracks have a sloped starting line and some stick shift cars would roll at. the line and go red

What you mean you don't stick your arm through the steering wheel?

I use to heel and toe the gas pedal/brake. Heel gas toe the brake. Worked pretty good if the gas return spring was not a double.

I thought of making something like this for stick cars without a pedal parking brake. I live close enough to a hilly city that if I had an older manual car I would make sure it has the hand style parking brake just for that occasion.
