Clutch Switch Question - I want to disable it

I would like to disable clutch safety switch. Ordering RSS Clutch Stop.

If you have a picture, or diagram where/how to disconnect clutch/switch- I want to start the car without depressing the clutch pedal - I've done this to previous manual cars I owned, - will that throw CE light? or bad for accumulator?
DD with light flywheel is just pain in the a$$

It's pretty easy!! Just take the connector out from the switch that sits in front of the clutch pedal and connect the two wires together!

You should do the spring removal mod too while you're in there. I'm sure someone has a pic of this lying around they can post up.

Check out the adjustable clutch stop from RSS too. I am using a 4 puck disc and it is really more street friendly, without all that pedal travel.

On my 987.1 Boxster I installed a kill switch at that location after pulling the clutch switch connections and plan to do the same on the 996 turbo. If the switch is toggled off a thief (or wife/girlfriend) can't start the car.
