Thanks for the links. I've spoken to distributors of a couple brands guidosimplex being one, and even a bmw development version. It wasn't promising.
Every time I Google the topic, I get new sources, so maybe I'll find one. I hate giving up driving my 6.

This is one possibility : 2003 Mercedes E55 AMG w/ Hand Controls - One Take I could clamp one of these onto my clutch pedal. We'll see! It may be too difficult to push by hand.

Definitely different than a hand clutch tractor or a stand-drive Divco milk delivery truck.

Duck Clutch
The 'Duck' semi-automatic clutch completely removes the requirement for left leg operation in a manual vehicle.
A small lever on the gear knob controls the clutch pedal allowing complete operation of the clutch for the driver.
Extremely suitable where an automatic version of the vehicle is not available. Although in essence manual, the 'Duck' is 'intelligent', being computer-controlled, and performs a true 'fly-by-wire' control of the clutch; for instance knowing where the 'bite point' of the clutch is and automatically finding it on slight release of the lever. Full clutch control is performed extremely naturally.

I have hydraulic clutches on both my 1957 TR3 (small mouth) and 1970 TR6, neither have given me any problems for many years. Herman VD provided them to with his 5 speed conversion. They are Quarter Master products.
Good Luck
