One consideration with a clutch is that you can easily overspeed the electric
motor when downshifting if you miss a gear or aren’t paying attention. Relying
on the synchros protects you somewhat in that case.

Hey John
First of all that is one awesome truck! The best Ford EV in my opinion! :-)
Since you are only looking for clutch action while rolling I would also
suggest an actuator too but maybe something that is air or vacuum driven.
I have used electric linear actuators before with a cheap reversi

My 1987 Pontiac Fiero has a hydraulic clutch the parts are available at
"The Fiero Store" - "https://www.fierostore.com/";
The parts that might help with this effort are here:

Hope this helps,

Easy with a gas engine.

You'll get good at it with practice, too. My ComutaVan was clutcless,
and I got good at shifting by ear.

I have no problem downshifting without a clutch using the "stomp on the
throttle a few times to match the motor speed" trick. Ty

This truck originally had an Automatic transmission, and the entire
pedal-mounting system under the dash is completely different from a truck with
a manual transmission.

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.
