The upper switch gets triggered when the clutch pedal is at the top of its travel. If the pedal itself is set lower than factory with our master you will have to screw the switch down in order for it to make contact with the pedal again. Its pretty easy, just unplug the wire...screw the switch down until its piston is pressed in good, then plug the wire back up.
