Instead of hydraulic or pneumatic shifting mechanisms, you could go electric and use servos. You can buy servos for radio controlled airplanes at your local hobby shop. They make them in a variety of sizes and there are ones that are plenty strong enough and reliable enough to move the shifter piece that comes directly out of the tranny, they would probably cost about $50.00 each if you had to use the strongest ones (which I don't think is necessary.)
Now you could leave the clutch pedal in which would eliminate one complication (and would detract from the driving experiance anyways I think if you were to get rid of it) And the hardest part would be setting up the sensors that would be actuated by the shifter. The only other problem is you would lose the solid connection of the shifter to the tranny and the shifter would flop around, you would have to do something to give it a nice feel like it is going and staying into a gear.
All in all quite possible I think!
