240 Standard Trans w/ Cruise Control?

Hi Bruce,

Our '93 240 Classic wagon has cruise control and manual transmission. Cruise control was available as an option as early as '86 regardless of transmission type.

Good luck in your quest for CC + MT! Andy I.

Cruise control is seperate from the tranny. A 240 is a 240. The parts will swap over. The only question is if a non C.C. 240 has the same wiring harness on the steering column. That is where C.C. switch will plug in.

Hello again Bruce,

If you're going to install your present cruise control into a manual transmission equipped 240, you'll need a "cut-out" switch operated by the clutch pedal, as well as the one operated by the brake pedal.

Good Luck. Andy I.

Yes, and what I'm wondering is, can I get a regular cut-out switch from a brake pedal on a junker?? Or is it different? Or is installation a bear, or??

True - but an auto tranny car won't have a clutch pedal, and won't have the C.C. cutout switch attached to that pedal.

Yes. I have a 1992 240 wagon with standard and cruise control.

Patrick,

Does yours have a switch under the clutch pedal to disable the cruise control when shifting?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, Bruce. There is a cut-out awitch under the clutch pedal. Andy I.

Look at the bracket that holds the brake switch on your other car. I believe there is provision for another switch, one for the clutch pedal. You just need an additional switch. (Note that the cut out switches for the cruise control are the ones that have the vacuum hose connected.)

Thanks, people. I'm now fairly well educated on this topic.
