Default [97 C5] What does a clutch anticipate switch do?

Hello

I am considering swapping an A4 in a 97 C5 to a M6. Looking at a clutch pedal removal procedure in the manual it details a clutch anticipate switch.

I have read and reread the electrical manual and can not find any mention of this switch.

Does anyone know what this switch does? Or what pin in the PCM its connected to?

Thanks

I dont know but I would bet that, that is the switch that kicks off your cruise control when you push in the clutch.

There is also a "clutch switch" which I thought performed that function.

After doing a google search on "clutch anticipate switch", I got some hits, non-ls1 info, that mentioned this switch kills the cruise control when the clutch is depressed.

The "clutch switch" is the switch that allows the car to start when the clutch pedal is depressed.
