I took an extra pig tail for the clutch switch and striped both wires. I soldered a wire to one end of the pigtail and then grounded it via a screw by the fuse box. I then soldered another wire to the other end of the clutch switch and tested it with a meter. Pedal up, no ground, pedal depressed, ground. I had an extra set of ECU connectors, so I pulled a connector out of the extra plug and soldered it to the loose end of the wire going to the ECU. I disconnected the small ECU plug. I used a small screw driver and pulled the small plastic separator out and disconnected the wire that was in slot 104. I slide that one out and then inserted the new one and put the plastic separator back in. Hooked it all back up and all I get is 1 for clutch switch. After this happened I pulled the small plug again and made this video. Any help is appreciated and thanks for taking the time to look at this. Could not attach the video so here is the link to a public photobucket.

In ECMLink, it should show 1 when off the clutch and 0 when you push it in (or the other way around, I can't remember which one, as long as it shows 1 in one position and 0 in the other). You then have to turn on clutch cut and set your rpm limit.
 
1990AWD Thank you for the reply.

I am an IDIOT.:aha: Anyway Everything was wired correctly. I tried testing the switch before activating it in link, BUT YOU MUST ACTIVATE NLTS OR ANTI-LAG FOR THE SWITCH TO READ CORRECTLY. I wanted to make sure the switch was working before trusting it with my RPM's. Anyway after speaking with Dave on link, we got it straightened out. The clutch switch reads 1 - 0 - 1
1 clutch up (not depressed)
0 Clutch towards firewall (depressed)
1 clutch up (not depressed)

If it reads 0 - 1 - 0 you can invert the signal using the first check box in the MISC tab.
