The Gear Lever would however be Regular Gear Lever
and would be available in 1 Litre Turbo Charged Petrol Engine. There would be a sensor on Gear Stick and as soon as you touch in Gear Lever that Sensor would pass command through ECU to Inbuilt Hydraulic Actuator in Car to engage in Clutch (which will happen in less than fraction of second).
