The beginning makes it sound like you have an auto, the second bit makes it sound like
you have a manual with a clutch problem and you're talking about double-de-clutching, ie
changing gears without using the clutch. Semi-automatic??!?!?!! Easy to do electrically
with an auto, but AFAIK the only manufacturers to have commercially produced an
automatically controlled clutch mechanism are Alfa Romeo and Ferrari, and it costs a
bomb. How exactly would "your mechanic" achieve this?

I'm not going to comment on the rest of your mail except to say that in common with many
on this list, I find it hard to believe much of what you say. This comes from experiences
of other un-moderated mailing lists and certain "tall tales" being told..... apologies if
I'm way off the mark.
