so i pulled the spring out of my clutch pedal and it worked as advertised. I have a quick question about it though. the little microswitch that is located aft of the pedal , (not the clutch switch) i think i read something about the "anti-stall switch". I noticed that after i removed the spring the clutch travel is much less and the pedal no longer retracts against the switch. the car felt sluggish prior to me zip tying it in. Anyone have any issues with this? i was thinking about removing the switch and jumping the wires.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

FYI - the clutch pedal has a little more left to right play in it ever since i removed the spring.
clutch delay switch: modifies the throttle map (makes it less sensitive) so you have to push the throttle pedal deeper to get increase the throttle while the delay is in effect.
well that explains it... i think i will keep it taped in the "up" position
Just remember that in doing so, the 'cancel cruise control' via the clutch pedal is now null and void. This means that accidentally depressing the clutch during cruise control engagement, that the engine will continue to explosion, unless manually cancelled. BE WARNED!!!!!

To the rev limiter, anyway.
Get a weak compression spring at a hardware store, cut to length if necessary and install it. It will extend the clutch pedal to the full topped out position and have no ill-effect on anything else.
well stepping on the brake pedal will deactivate it anyway... right? i never press the clutch in in cruise control

Yes it will, but trust me, you will eventually hit the clutch pedal by mistake and surprise!
If you need a weaker spring... I may have one somewhere, PM me your address and I'll get it to you. This is the way to go IMHO. Taping the switch is a rig job.
wow does this thread explain a lot for me. My wires were ripped off this switch at some point and I just put them back together to make my cruise work again. Ever since I have I have been slipping the clutch a lot more than I used to.. I think I am going to zip tie that sucker up. I thought I blew through a clutch already in 5000 miles.
yea the throttle is definitely more sensitive with is zip tied up. you have to take it easy or the clutch with slip more.
