Default Cruise control kicks out...

Ever since I had a heavy duty clutch installed a few years ago my cruise control kicks out-at 40 MPH in 6th (I have 3.90), going down hills, and when my engine isn't tuned right and bucks at low speed.

I remembered a recent post about buttons (switches) at the brake and clutch pedals, so today I drove at 40 under the conditions that it kicks out but I held my foot under the clutch pedal and pulled up and it doesn't kick out under that condition.

What do I need to do? I mostly don't work on my car.

May the BOOST be with you!

You have to adjust & clean those switches/buttons that rest against the pedals

I had the same problem. For a quick fix for mine I added one a small felt stick on pad to the back of the pedal so the switch would make contact with the pedal.

Default Thanks guys...

Sounds simple enough that even a Real Estate Broker could do it!
