Anyone running this setup?.. particularly after a 5 speed swap? #1 is it possible, #2 was there any trouble encountered to make it work? I do a lot of long distance driving and will continue to after my swap. Ive just never heard of cruise on a manual. Was it offered OEM?

it was offered OEM. i don't know what exactly would be required to make it work, but I will say probobly the acuator, CC throttle, buttons and associated wiring.

Snail...tnxI was thinking more like..would you still use the brake to interupt it? Does the clutch action also interupt it (ie on a downshift). Those are the tech Qs i have mainly. Ill have to scour my FSM electrical schematics. Thanks

No Kidding???I thought maybe you used it in the alley or a school zone. duh

Maybe my question is too complicated. Im trying to find out if anyone has done a 5 speed swap and also retained the cruise. If so ...how?.. sheeze

If your car already had it and you want to keep it with a 5 speed swap all you need is the clutch pedal cancellation switch. You can still have cruise without the clutch switch but if you push clutch in the engine will proceed to redline. The cruise is non-transmission bias so if it worked before then it still should.

I can email you when I get home from work which is like 5pm. I do have a set of Sprint lowering springs for sale or will trade so let me know what you got. I'm willing to deliver the springs if you purchase them since I need to take a relaxing drive plus we can oogle each other's cars.

Just for clarification; when you say "swap," are you simpy referring to the auto to manual transmission swap or are you referring to an engine swap? If the latter, I haven't found an SR that had factory cruise although the RB from the Laurel and Cefiro came with cruise. The issue is not the electrical side, because you can retain the electronics (ASCD box, actuator/vacuum pump, etc.); the issue is usually the throttle body. The non-cruise engines only have the single connector for the throttle cable; the factory cruise engines also have the second connector for the cruise/ASCD actuator cable. For the manual transmission swap, you would need the clutch inhibitor switch circuit which works just like the auto transmission neutral/park switch to disengage the cruise. There are aftermarket cruise devices that can be installed on basically any vehicle, regardless of the throttle body design/configuration.
