Scotty, I'm not quite sure how you would build hand controls for a stick
shift car. Let's see, one hand for the clutch, one hand for the shifter,
one hand for the throttle or brake, one hand for steering. I think you'd
have to train an octopus.
Later, JR
I maybe didn't say it right. The left hand handles the steering; the left
leg (which works) does the clutch; the right leg--now that's where I have
problems. The right hand does the shifting but that doesn't take much
time--leaving the right hand free for gas and brakes. I have seen hand controls used
for right-hand operation of the gas and brakes but the makers turn up their
noses when I can't prove that I'm a wheelchair case.
