It would take a cable run going in both directions and an override spring at the end where the two cables attach to a single cable to actuate the master cylinder or the linked cable (for cable clutch). The idea would be to have it set at the right point on the handle (above the shfit lever connection) so that you get clutch actuation before gear change and the override spring allows the shift handle to continue traveling to make the gear change without overdriving the master or overstressing the cable.
2 pivot points. Top pivot point actuates clutch, further down the shifter the second pivot activates the shift. Pretty cool idea but probably less complicated to just have a lever on the shifter.
