Yes, disconnect it.

This clutch pedal is....AMAZING! I have a TT GTM kit with the zspeed csc and OS Giken twin disk. This setup is extremely hard and annoying to drive. If not stalling, its heavy jerking and not fun at all. After installing this pedal, not only is the pedal feel smoother but I got to lower the engagement point to where i wanted it. Now my clutch feels like its stock again! I don't know how much this would improve an NA car, but for forced induction setups with aggressive clutches I highly recommend this! I can finally drive my car normally again and enjoy this turbo instead of worrying about stalling out in first gear lol Please get this if you haven't already!! I promise you will love it.

Is there a trick to removing the white wire clips without breaking them...ive got the seat unbolted and the wiring harnesses unclipped but can't figure out how these white clips come loose:

Not sure what that pic is of. Take a wider angle pic to show what you're unclipping. I didn't take anything loose from the bottom of the cushion. I didn't have any need to.

Maybe a different design between the coupe and sedan or model years. the wire that snakes up from the floor definitely goes through 3 of these white clips:

I see now. I don't remember any wires being clipped in like that on my '08, unless I'm just forgetting about it. The best way to remove them is by using a 2 flat screwdrivers on opposite sides and and doing your best to pry them out without damage. Maybe a small prying tool that's notched in the center would work well too.

Even if you were to break them, they're under the seat out of sight and inaccessible and unlikely that that wire hanging down would hurt anything.

Just had this installed, and I literally almost teared up as soon as I put the clutch in. WOW. Engagement point is much lower, more precise, and a ton more forgiving. The pedal pressure is perfect. And it's fully adjustable with an easy turn of a ****. Unreal. I can't for the life of me understand why the car didn't come like this from the factory.

How much did they charge for the install, if you don't mind me asking?
