Default P0833 Code, I need pics please

Hey guys,
I received the code last month and realized it was possibly due to finding a broken clutch return spring. I replaced it and Im still getting this damn code. I have cleared it with my scan tool several times but it comes back after a few drive cycles.
I have searched and found that It either the cruise control switch / clutch return switch needing adjustment or replacement.
What I cant find is a good video or pic showing what exactly Im to adjust once Im upside down in the backbreaking position under the dash.
Anyone who has conquered the dreaded p0833 code please shine some light on this for me.
Thanks in advance.

Well I think I have it fixed. Instead of deleting my thread I will leave it for someone else in need of a hand.
I knew there was a switch of some sort on top of the clutch arm somewhere and did something.
After pulling the bottom dash underlay kick panel loose and fighting with that damn floor light to gain access I looked up and saw the little white switch with a push button.
For whatever reason the whole switch had rotated around and around until it backed itself halfway out of the mount. This still allowed it to touch the clutch arm, but not full depressing the switch.
I twisted the backside of the switch box around several turns and you could see it threading the pushbutton tighter up against the clutch arm. I am 100% sure this was the problem. I reset the ses light and now will have to wait for some drive cycles and cross fingers that its fixed.

Good for you; I just found a picture that you can barely see at the top of the clutch arm, shows the location of the switch.
Here it is for others to see.
