Doesn't sound like it. Sounds like the Automatic transmission had a manual clutch-declutch function. Preselectors (at least the wilson boxes in the ferrets and such) have a gear shift movement to preselect the gear and then the driver would engage the gear by stepping on the gear change pedal. The way Sarge describes it, the clutch was actually a clutch. On the Wilson gearboxes, the clutch pedal is most certainly not a clutch pedal.
