What are you using for a clutch pedal stop?

The first thought that came to mind is you had an adjustable stop or it wasn't installed correctly and was keeping you from fully actuating the switch, but that doesn't seem to be the case then.

yeah I’m unsure. It's just weird that unplugging/replugging the clutch switch fixes the problem.

Probably coincidence or there is an issue in your wiring and unplugging it wiggles the wiring back to a working order.

When the issue comes up, can you still hear the relay click when you push in the clutch? If not then that would point at a wiring issue or potentially a faulty switch.

I haven't tried to hear a click when this issue is occurring but I feel that the wiring is done correctly, although its weird that this occurs on/off. This problem also leads me to believe its wiring related as well. Would it be the wiring thats connected to the EWS?

Potentially. Next time it happens listen for the relay click. If it's not clicking then something's wrong with the clutch switch (or related wiring). If it is, then something is wrong elsewhere.

happened again today and when it did I heard the click

Well your clutch switch is fine then. I would double check all your wiring to make sure everything is correct, including the wires going to the starter and in the positive post in the engine bay (make sure all nuts are snug, connections are clean, etc.).

Could also be that your starter is going and it just happened to start failing right after the swap.

After reading more of this post carefully, I believe the problem might actually be the clutch switch. I accidentally purchased the #35426876898 switch instead of the #61319122700. Do you think this might be the issue? It's just weird to me that the 354 switch works "most" of the time haha.

I'm not entirely sure. I've seen some threads where people run into stalling issues with the incorrect part (35426876898). But I haven't had to deal with this myself, so not sure if it would also affect starting. Maybe someone else can chime in on that.

I would switch to the correct part (61319122700) regardless.

Hello guys! I’ve done the swap and the programming thanks to ECUWorks software and a tutorial on how to use NCS Expert I found on YouTube. The thing is, that when I fully push the clutch pedal my electrical system gets fishy... the blinkers won’t turn on, my steering controls won’t work, the headlights won’t start... but once I depress the pedal they all turn on. What could this be? I did recode the car to see if everything was OK and I get the same issue.

other thing is that the SMG rev light I coded with ECUWorks won’t work. Has anybody had this issue other issue after the swap?

By the way, I have the instructions to code everything I downloaded a few years back from the old forum. Let me know how to upload them because I have no idea lol.

Is anyone aware of the difference between the clutch switch part numbers 61319122700 and 61319122701? There isn’t much to go on from realoem and the shop performing the swap is going with the PN ending in 701.

61319122701 is the euro switch and does not have the clutch interlock circuit on it. It will work if you code it out which is relatively simple.

Seems silly but I noticed the gear position sensor harness is different than the smg one. Does the end need to be cut off and a new one soldered on to plug it in?

I do not think that is your issue.
