Given a way to power-assist it, a simple hand lever on the gearstick strikes me as the best way, which is what I understand the "duck clutch" you mention to be. I don't see why it would need to be especially expensive, though. If you can make a hydraulic brake hand operated, you can make a hydraulic clutch be so as well, with exactly the same kit. Or instead of a lever, maybe have it as a twistgrip like a motorcycle throttle, so the effect is like the combined throttle/collective on a helicopter. It may interest you to know that my (1958) Standard was available with a "Standrive" option where they had a centrifugal clutch system, and a vacuum-operated mechanism to disengage the clutch if you touched the gearknob, so it's certainly not a new idea. Edit: If it's a vehicle that uses a transmission which is adapted in some uses as a sequential shift, could you use that kit so the gearstick has two planes of motion - pull back to disengage the clutch, and knock it left/right to shift up/down.

My vote is definitely for a motorcycle hand clutch on the shifter itself, using a remote vacuum servo to give the necessary boost to make it easy to operate, the obvious limitation being it would only work on hydraulic clutch mechanisms.
