I used to think you couldn't get a stick shift with cruise control. I guess it only works in 5th gear. Quote: | Originally Posted by stormos driving my auto is lazy enough, i'd be asleep if i had cruise control too! | __________________

Does anyone know how hard it is to do this upgrade yourself? How long will it take? I have been thinking about doing this for a while now. | | | | | 04-18-2006, 05:21 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |
I have no idea. I'm gonna run the wires, install the stalk on the column, and install the computer under the glove box. The rest will be done later on, when I get all the misc parts.

What if you set it to 50mph, and you were in 2nd gear? Quote: | Originally Posted by cali-ti why would it only work in 5th? it should work the same in any gear (it just can't change gears like it can in an auto). pretty sure i've set it at lower speeds to keep myself in check | __________________

i haven't specifically tried it, but i'm guessing it would hold it at 50 mph in 2nd gear i don't have a habit of setting the cruise near redline  __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

I think I couldn't get the cruise to engage below 20mph. It does disengage when the clutch is hit, brakes are hit, or the gas is held for longer than 30 seconds. | | | | | 04-18-2006, 07:00 PM | #10 | | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 |

AFAIK, cruise on manuals only work above a certain RPM, not in a certain gear. __________________

It also works fine in third at 40 km/h (24 mph). | | | | | 04-19-2006, 03:35 PM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |
I sell some stuff on Ebay, but too lazy to make it a business. However, my father, and two brothers make very good money selling on Ebay. Quote: | Originally Posted by Tyler When the L8bay.com opening for buisness? | __________________

Ok, what if I said 50mph in 1st gear? My point is, will the car let you set a cruise speed, that would blow your engine?
