That guy's steering wheel is sick! Like a gyro on a bike

so much power to you for wanting to learn 5 speed! im not sure if you have seen the video below, But maybe you could get an idea from it!??

not sure if this is true but sounds like it "He was paralyzed from the waist down when he had a bike accident at 17 then at 19 was his drifting debeut.
Sterring wheel accelerator, column foot brake, the sensor on the gear shift knob goes to a motor that actuates the clutch the e-brake has a sensor to actuate the clutch also the last lever goes the clutch master cylinder for doing clutch kicks "

It will, but so does driving stick. This girl had her bumper 3 or 4 inches off of another car when she was parked down a really steep grade (think 20%), I was able to get her out of the spot without moving a single inch downhill using the ebrake trick. It's not too hard and it's really effective, you just have to get a little feel for the driveline.

Oh Ok then. Its going to take some getting use to though. Hahaha

[Wh33lhop]

No, you won't. You don't wear down the shoes at all if the car is stationary.

[5Toes]

^ Hahaha thanks for backing me up bro. Lol yeah so anyways i think the parking brake Idea might just work... but Ill go through p brake shoes way fast.

Paddle shifters. Honestly I commend you for your effort, but try these out, at least for the first year or so.

The kid wants to make a damn clutch lever so he doesn't have to give up driving a manual transmissioned car and you steer him towards paddle shifters?

[5Toes]

Thats awesome that you still want to learn stick. Or you could get one of these::D

Yeah because a junior in High School has 5.3K to blow on a shifter.

And post above me, that's pretty cool.

Im looking online now, there isn't much information available... but it is out there I just have to request information for it. Ugh.

i might be able to find out for you. my friend's brother is paralyzed from the waist down and uses his hands to brake, accelerate.

My grandfather had a stroke during the last years of his life, due to the stroke he lost a lot of the reaction speed in his legs, but not in his hands. So, we had a hand lever mounted under the steering wheel that operated the brake pedal. I think it cost my parents a few hundred dollars, but it helped my grandpa keep his independence. It didn't interfere with the tilt function of the steering wheel or the ability to use the pedal as normal.

I'd say check the phonebook for any local dealers that sell those wheelchair vans, they might be able to point you towards a company that makes similar products.

More power to you for wanting to learn the 5-speed.

i would do the learning and 1st year or so in an automatic if i were you.. fussing with how to operate the clutch and all that will be a PITA, better to get used to the road first so that it isn't a distraction.

Yup thats what I had in mind. I totally agree with you.
