Clutch Switch Broken??

so i was pulling out of a street last night ans all of a sudden a crotch rocket came screaming around the corner. well i slammed the clutch and brake to the floor. when i hit the floor with the clutch i heard a cracking nosie. when i got home i shut the car off and tried to start it, and it started. but today i was driving around and my CEL came on and it was a clutch switch code. anyone else have this prob. its a $10 part so i ordered it. but wanted to see if this has happened before.

You may want to try 'lifting up' on the brake pedal and clutch before you do an install.

The brake pedal got stuck a little down on my ss/sc in a very similar incident regarding a big ass truck while I was still in Ohio.. accidentally fixed it with my toe on the way to the dealership actually.
