Hi all,
Just a quick question about clutch pedals, maybe a stupid question.
I have a TT Auto that I will be swapping to a 5 spd.
I want to use the NA Clutch Master Cylinder so I don't have to mess with the booster.
My question is do I use a NA Clutch Pedal because I'm using an NA Clutch Master Cyl?
Or do I use a TT Clutch Pedal because my car is a TT?

Thanks in advance.

Does not matter, both pedals are the same.

Well the service manual shows a few differences between pedals.
If they are indeed interchangeable do I need to worry about the HICAS Clutch Switch on the TT vs. the Power Steering Clutch Switch on the NA?
What do these do exactly?

With the conversion, the only thing I did was the neutral safety switch, I have no other switches on the clutch. If they come with other switches, take them off or leave disconnected, will not affect way it drives or starts. The biggest hurdle I had bypassing the automatic wiring so it would start. Could not find the wire the article were talking about, so I bypassed the whole starter relay, which includes the factory alarm, and set it up on my own relay. Zero issues with it, starts everytime, I have a higher idle because the TCM still thinks its in park, but so far it does not affect gas mileage or emissions. Eventually I will figure it out and get it all buttoned up.

To answer your question, the switches are a limiting agent, they tell the ECU position so it knows how much pressure is needed so it doesn't overheat the pump and pushes the proper amount of assistance for when it is really needed. I would not even worry about the switches. There is a write up in the FSM that explains more what they do, but above is the dirty version.
