No ACL and less than 400 hp, sell me on a clutch

Ok this is going to be WAY out there but...

What about a rod with a T handle on the end and a guide under the dash and attached to the clutch pedal.

OR

Get a hand pull e brake like you see on newer cars in the center console. Mount it between seat and rocker. Pull up and clutch is disengaged. Heck keep the ratchet button so you can keep the clutch disengaged while at a tragic light!

Look for companies that retrofit cars for the disabled.
