I did this 4 yrs ago and never had a issue, I remember looking that a clutch switch was big money for what it was so +1 for a cheap fix that stood time so far

Broken clutch switch cause "squeek" when pressing clutch down?

Squeek sound when you push the clutch in??

my car does idle a bit high when its cold, and sometimes it will hunt when at idle...

Here's a reply for 2010. Thanks for the info in this thread. I had a good laugh. Hopefully this is the solution to my stalling problem (which after doing some research, looks like it will be the one).

Just had to chime in, I always was a little skeptical of this fix. Working on a buddy's car, I found he had a bad clutch switch. Found a cheapie click pen, took it apart, the spring fits PERFECTLY and works PERFECTLY.

This is a great fix. It's cheap, but it's done RIGHT at the same time.

The ballpoint pen spring fix is commonly used on Miatas' broken clutch switches.
