Ive got a BA XR6, and with cruise on its fine, Use it all the time, since there are Constable Kodaks everywhere over here

I've had 3 cars that are manual with cruise control and never had a problem.
If you change gear the cruise control disengages because there is a switch on the clutch pedal. |

I own one manual car with cruise & it works well, As Timmeh said if ya hit the clutch it disengages, it won't shift down/up gears like an auto with cruise does..

Yeah manual + cruise control is good.
Steep hills in 5th you can really feel the pedal pull down to the floor though lol... |

Out of all the mods i done to my SVO, that was by far the best, i used it everytime i was in the car.
As the guys said, if you want to gear down it has a switch on the clutch pedal. |

I hate the cruise on my Auto Futura, its always kicking down and pisses me off.
I much prefer it on my Manual XR6, I dont think theres been a hill on a highway thats required me to drop down a gear. Maybe the big a** one outside Wollongong?

Does the light on the dash come up when you switch it on?
Does it have the switch on the clutch pedal? |
