Hi,
The sensor on your clutch pedal (BurlyB addressed the brake pedal, I think) is really a switch ("vacuum dump" switch) for turning off the cruise control system (standard on your TC) so you don't get mad engine rev and redline when using the cruise and pushing changing gears. There should be a similar one on the brake pedal, and both switches have a vacuum hose going to them from the engine compartment (cruise is vacuum controlled on these cars).
(I am having clutch problems, too, and I think my clutch master's internal spring is binding as it POPS really loud, giving me a thump on the ball of my clutch foot. And, to make matters worse, the clutch won't disengage at the same point all the time. For instance, after I sit at a stoplight for a while with clutch pedal pushed in, when I am ready to go and begin to let the clutch pedal out, I usually nearly stall it. What I mean is the clutch is letting out at the floor! This inconsisten clutch "let-out" makes driving my 900 a real pain lately. :(
Hope this helps!
