The derailleur gear change on a bicycle also fits that description:

A friend of mine had a Kawasaki motorcycle that he ran at the track.

He could make shifts faster than anyone else,and did not have to cool the clutches between runs.

He showed me his secret.

He had mounted a second star wheel on the opposite side of the case,and put a micro switch to kill the engine at the exact moment of shift.

This provided a brief instant of unloading on the tranny so that he could shift without using the clutch.The only time the clutch was used was during launch from the start.

This was many years ago so it is safe to tell about it now,I guess.

I have heard that called an "electric clutch".

The way I have seen it done, is by rewiring the gear indicator circuit.

It works a treat, the bike I rode with it had a clutch lever.

You put the bike in 1st gear with the clutch lever pulled then you turned on the

electric clutch and once you let the clutch out, you just banged through the gears.

Even better was adding a centrifugal clutch, then no clutch lever is needed.

You just need to keep the revs above engagement RPM and bang them gears.

With a stutter box set to just below clutch engagement RPM, you pin the throttle with the stutter box button pressed and and as soon as you release the button, clutch engages and, if you also have an air cylinder attached to the shifter, you press a second button every time you want to shift.

And remember to hang on!
