The brake button (switch) is actuated by the brake to deactivate the cruise control. All cars have such a hookup.I'm not sure why you added a brake button, for the cruise control in my car has an on/off button, a set/coast button, and a resume/accelerate button. Maybe that's what the brake button is, a replacement for the coast button.
Lots of manual transmission cars have cruise control. If the hill it too steep, especially towing a boat, the cruise control will hit full throttle. If that isn't enough, the car just ends up slowing down, just as it would if I had floored it and left it in top gear. I just have to change gear, as I would with no cruise control.Although, don't you have to shift gears on a motorcycle yourself? If so I forsee that causing problems.
That's true, didn't even think of that.The brake button (switch) is actuated by the brake to deactivate the cruise control. All cars have such a hookup.
I didn't know manual cars had cruise control. I've only driven one manual car before and it was too old to have cruise control.Lots of manual transmission cars have cruise control.

I had an '82 Datsun with a manual tranny and I added an aftermarket cruise control. It had a magnetic pickoff that had to be added to one of the front axles to measure the speed, and a microswitch added to the clutch to disengage the motor when shifting (otherwise the motor would tend to redline during the shift).I didn't know manual cars had cruise control.

That's funny. I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin and I actually did that on my dad's tractor while he was operating a forage chopper in the field. The chopper was operated by the power take-off so the engine was heavily loaded even though the tractor was moving at a slow walk in low gear. I walked along side the engine and turned the mixture screw slightly one way and then the other until my dad decided it was developing the best power.My tractor manual wants me to adjust one of the carburetor adjustments under full load. While plowing. Think of me running along beside the engine, with my little screwdriver, one foot ahead of the large tire. The good news is that the plow will through dirt over my broken body. All I need is a head stone.
