Wouldn't you prefer a servo? A solenoid would engage the clutch
instantly causing, I think, a significant lurch if the motor speed isn't
close. Besides, the power needed would be a lot less for a servo,
allowing for a smaller, cheaper device.

Subject: [EVDL] Clutch Actuator
My Electric F-150 has a clutch, but no clutch pedal. So I can't
actually disengage the clutch. I can shift from 3rd to 4th just using
the syncrhos, takes 5-10 seconds.
This hasn't been a major problem, but there are times when I would
like to shift down, and that can be difficult and slow.
Does anyone know of a solenoid or servo that can operate the clutch
lever that is sticks out of the bell housing?
I'm guessing it may need 100lbs of force, and a 1" stroke.
