Default Those with adjustable master and cruise control problems

I have been having intermittent cruise control problems for a couple of months now. I noticed the last time out to the track that it had started working again after adjusting my clutch pedal up a little more. I moved the pedal back down and it stopped working again. I finally got off of my butt and checked the cut off switch. The switch was not making contact with the pedal, even when fully up. The switch is in a threaded assembly held with a plastic nut. I just had to pop the assembly out of the bracket and turn it down a few turns so that it now makes contact with the pedal arm. Thank goodness, I really did not want to have to pay to get this fixed <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> So if any of you are having a problem with your cruise after installing an adj master, this is something to look at. Thanks to Jake99ss for the suggestion of checking the switches <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

WOW, thanks Mark. Mine messed up a few days ago. I just figured it was a part of the Friday car syndrome <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I was just too lazy to look at it lately. Thanks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Hmmm, mine stopped working last year sometime, right around the time I installed my adj. m/c. I think I'll go take a look at that this weekend. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
