The inline shift pattern means that you absolutely could. Simple robotics could be built to control shift changes. And a simple micro controller could be built for downshift prevention based on vehicle speed/rpm inputs. As long as you are not trying to electronically control both shifting annd clutch operation clutch (as with trying to adapt the afrementioned Aston Martin system), the project becomes way more realistic--Challenging and expensive, but realistic.
