Manual and Auto cruise systems are exactly the same.

The only difference is that on a manual, you have a clutch switch (there is a jumper wire fitted on the Auto), and you don't need to connect a wire to the shift selector (the wire is left disconnected on the Manual).

You can buy the clutch switch & bracket quite cheaply from the dealer. Just make sure you get the correct parts. They are different on early & late models.
