fastcar Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hi does anyone know what the electric switch is for on the top of the clutch pedal. I for it might be something to with RPM although I can't see why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'm sure it's to do with the starting. Doesn't the clutch pedal have to be depressed before the car will start. I might be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcar Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 It could be maybe but mine starts whether it's depressed or not. I can't see what it's for to be honest. I was thinking it might be to do with idle control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcar Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 I removed mine from the pedal when I did the manual conversion. Can't really do a lot then I guess. Just found it strange as the only thing on the gearbox that is electronic is the speed sensor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephendjb Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 It's so the cruise control switches off when the clutch is pressed & the engine doesn't just rev its self into oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 It's so the cruise control switches off when the clutch is pressed & the engine doesn't just rev its self into oblivion. It is for the US market, by law ALL man cars have to have a clutch switch so they cannot be started in gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ugp Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I fitted one to my clutch pedal for the launch control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Thats the best way to use the launch, the yanks dissconnect these to save wear on the crank when they start the car as the clutch has to be depressed, check SF theres many threads, its why cars without Cruise still have em !!!!
