Looks expensive.

Expensive and it would need user accessible tuning so you can dial in the slave responds to pedal input because now you also have to tune your clutch pedal to work with the tuneup in your clutch itself.

Also probably has some fitment issues or will heat soak from headers!

Cool idea, but probably easier to swap to a hyd set up in a lot of cases.

An expensive, bad and complicated solution on a non existing problem if you ask me
You must get a clutch pedal with absolutly no feel,Why even use a pedal put a nob on the
shifter. If you keep doing  embarrasing  old
lady stalls, learn to drive or get an auto trans. Yees

It also states that the car will "freewheel" when you let off the gas, which means that the clutch is disengaging, which means the throwout bearing and thrust bearing are getting a massive workout, which means they will fail prematurely. Far earlier than they should, anyway.

Also, there's nothing mentioned about release speed, or how it's controlled. So what about when you want an easy takeoff, but then you want to have some fun and do a burnout, or launch the car? How does it know what you want to do?

Lots of issues I can think of.

Looks like an answer to a question nobody asked.

I started looking at this idea because I have neurophy in my foot from a back problem. I was looking for a easy solution to disengaging the clutch with out using my foot and without the need to switch to a automatic trans. Elective procedures are on a hold for the moment is NJ.....

I'm sure such a system could be made with a more common electric solenoid.
