    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.

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

    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?

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

    And post above me, that's pretty cool.

    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.
