Well it’s kinda hard seeing that you haven’t even said if your car is a CEC or a BEC far less what gearbox you have. There’s things out there of both, plenty kits for the bike gearboxes. Just do a search on google and you’ll see them.

Its a lot more reliable with high pressure lines though- like on rally cars and such.

Don't WRC cars use hydraulics to actuate there shifts. More reliable but probably not the most lightweight option on a BEC say?

Electronic gear change kits are readily available, and IMO a better option to the mechanical paddle shift.

They need to be fitted carefully though to get them to work well.
