No clutch. The gears don't spin very fast so you can't strip a gear. When
you move the stick, it slides a cog on a cylinder. The cog locks into a
spinning gear which is hollow. This determines your gear ratio. The tranny
is fairly complex and require quite a bit of knowledge to figure out how it
actually works. Automating it would require two motors. One so slide the
stick left to right along the gates, and one to snick it forward and back into
the gates.
