Default Cruise Control Problems related to Clutch

Ok, about a year ago, I replaced my clutch with the Exedy twin carbon clutch and flywheel combo. Immediately afterwards, my cruise control stopped working. I didn't worry about it at the time, but since I am planning some long distance driving this summer, I'd like to get it fixed.

Given that the CC will disengage when the clutch is pressed in (assuming everything was working), I know the CC problem I have is related tot he clutch install. What should I check for? Is there a switch that the the ECU uses to detect the clutch is being pressed?

The symptom is that I can turn the CC on/off with the on/off button on the steering wheel, but the accel/resume and set/decel switch doesn't do anything, thus I can not engage the CC.

Any ideas?

actually..
try this..
pull the clutch pedal up as high as possible and try and engage cruise control. see if that works.
more than likely the clutch pedal isnt fully up to hit the switch to allow for cruise to turn on..
hence it is thinking your clutch is in and wont engage

yes you might need to adjust the pedal a little bit if its not hitting the switch.

Bleed the clutch or adjust the switch.

Tried that, it's not it.

I'll try adjusting the switch.
