Car Forum / Volvo Cars / July 2004240 Standard Trans w/ Cruise Control?
I now drive 150 miles/day in an '86 240, auto trans, with 375K miles on the clock. To get better gas mileage, I'm considering replacing it with a standard-transmission car when this one needs replacing. Did some standard-transmission 240's come with cruise control? I know that not everyone loves cr. ctrll, but I do, especially with my long commute. If they didn't come that way, I'd consider swapping my existing CC into the new car. Any comments on that? I do know that some other brands often have CC on standard-trans. cars, but I like driving a Volvo! Bruce Hi Bruce, Our '93 240 Classic wagon has cruise control and manual transmission. Cruise control was available as an option as early as '86 regardless of transmission type. Good luck in your quest for CC + MT!

There is a cut-out awitch under the clutch pedal. Andy I. | Andy, | [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] | < a~t > | [comcast.net] > Andy, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > < a~t > > [comcast.net] Look at the bracket that holds the brake switch on your other car. I believe there is provision for another switch, one for the clutch pedal. You just need an additional switch. (Note that the cut out switches for the cruise control are the ones that have the vacuum hose connected.)  SignatureMike F. Thornhill (near Toronto), Ont. NOTE: new address!! Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly. (But I check the newsgroup more often than this email address.) Cruise control is seperate from the tranny. A 240 is a 240. The parts will swap over. The only question is if a non C.C. 240 has the same wiring harness on the steering column. That is where C.C. switch will plug in. > I now drive 150 miles/day in an '86 240, auto trans, with 375K miles on > the clock. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Bruce Hello again Bruce, If you're going to install your present cruise control into a manual transmission equipped 240, you'll need a "cut-out" switch operated by the clutch pedal, as well as the one operated by the brake pedal.

Or is it different? Or is installation a bear, or?? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ To send email, remove all < > and [ ] and the junk ~ between: [brucepick1] < a~t > [comcast.net] > Hello again Bruce, > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > | > > | > Bruce True - but an auto tranny car won't have a clutch pedal, and won't have the C.C. cutout switch attached to that pedal. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ To send email, remove all < > and [ ] and the junk ~ between: [brucepick1] < a~t > [comcast.net] > Cruise control is seperate from the tranny.
