You could always go the other way around and go with a SMG trans, where there there is a computer that drives the solenoids and hydraulic valves...
ie SMG for the BMWs

Oh and yes clutches have been put into automatic trans in place of the torque converter, they were used to some success in drag racing in the late 60s
