1989 Cherokee- I just recently installed cruise control in my jeep. I got the cruise off a automatic Cherokee, and since I have a manual the clutch is a obvious issue. Is there a switch that deactivates the cruise when you push in the clutch? I have done a bit of searching and I haven't come up with a solid answer. It's kinda a pain to manually turn off the cruise, shift, and then reset it. Any pictures or answers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Is the vac vent switch that went to the brake petal on the automatic somehow supposed to attach to the clutch petal on the manual?

I found the switch in a wiring diagram! Awesome. Now Is that switch something I can buy from a parts store? It looks like I'll also need the bracket the switch mounts to. Any ideas where I can pick up one of those? All the local pick a part Cherokee are auto's. Is that something I'm just going to have to keep an eye out for. It seems like its pretty hard to find a manual Cherokee with cruise control, at least around where I live.
