I doubt it. Cruise usually controlls throttle, and lots of MTX cars have cruise. It just won't downshift for you so make sure the road is flat.

Cruise will still operate with 5-speed conversion. Make sure to save your TCU, though. *That* you WON'T need. Someone may need to buy it from you down the road.

You have to hook up a position switch to the clutch pedal, to make the cruise work....the process is in my write-up in the "how To" presonal locker.
