R50/53 Clutch Switch(s) on R53?

After a little more searching, I think I've found the answer. It looks like MINIs made before 7/2001 used a switch in the location in my first post. MINIs made after that used the one in this post...I think...

Exactly. My reason for asking is my MINI is a conversion from a CVT automatic and doesn't currently have the switch. I've been looking into wiring it in - start inhibiting would be good in case anyone ever borrows the car.
Was just double-checking which switch it actually is, since both are listed in the parts listings, but only the one on the master cylinder shows up on the wiring diagram. As far as I can tell, the one on the master cylinder is the one.

I'm guessing your coding overrides the need for the switch, so it would have to be re-flashed too?
Unless you're bypassing the need for the switch in some other way...

Looks like the clutch switch on my '03 is going bad. I have to have the clutch all the way against the floor before the car will turn over. Sometimes I have to push it a couple times before it will let the car start.
Is there a way to do away with the switch? There are 4 wires for the switch. Will pulling the connector out of the switch let you start the car? Or can you short two of the wires?
TIA

You might be able to, but you would need to verify that the Hall sensor in the clutch switch is closing the circuit and it is normally open. It would be pins 1 and 4 for the immobiliser. I've attached the wiring diagram and arrangement of the pins.
If you completely remove the switch, you might also mess up cruise control functionality.
A new switch is only about $40 - I would just go that route.
