do you mean the manual adjusting pedal.

if so, yes it will work on your s2 and is a very good conversion.

It just gives you a bigger clutch quadrant (for more travel), and adjustable pedal height.

its not a hard job but is very awkward and fiddley (sp)

look at the set up before you take it apart and make a note of where all the spacers and horse shoe clips go.

Yeah it is VERY fiddly, had mine out the other day to change the brake pedal plastic washers!
In fact you may aswell do that whilst your there, they are about 20p each and will save you doing it all again if your pedal starts flapping around
