Do you mean an electrical switch similar to a brake pedal switch? If so, it
gives the ECU information regarding the position of the clutch pedal. This
is used for things such as raising the engine revs during gear changes in
order to improve the gear change smoothness.

The term "pressure switch" is usually taken to mean an electrical switch
that measures the pressure of a fluid in a sealed system. If that is what
you are asking, I'm afraid I don't know.

I'm not sure either was over a week ago now so will have to have
another look but i'm sure yuo are right "like the one above the brake
pedal",  i had to get my clutch arm repaired as the metal at the back
(that holds the plastic clip in place) snapped off :-( so i had to get
it welded back on, also a piece of plastic had come loose too and i
could only think that this was used for positioning the clutch pedal in
line with the brake pedal.

even though this is a self adjusting hyraulic clutch the biting point
has changed and its further from the floor now, and this switch as far
as i can tell is no longer being engaged anymore poss because i havent
put the "plastic spacer" in correctly, however gear changes and clutch
control are all smooth.
