Explanation:
I had skipped your question because I'm clueless in this area, so take all this with a salt shaker...

According to this site, maneta is just a handle:

But here's a picture of what I think you want:

So, what about "clutch release"? Robb's gives clutch release as "desembrague", and Collazo as "(palanca de) liberación del embrague" (parenthesis and all).

There's also "clutch release lever": http://www.928oc.org/tip/tip571.htm.

Hope you can make something of this... (or I'll go hide in never-neverland) :-)

Hice \'click\' muy rápido. En este enlace: http://www.fim.ch/en/, en la parte superior derecha - publications - está la sección \'rules\', luego \'technical regulations\' y una vez allí: road racing.
Suerte!
