I think it would probably be cheaper/easier to get an aftermarket system installed.

sorry this may sound stupid but can you get cruise on a 5speed?
Yeah, had an aftermarket system on my '96 2.2 5spd for quite a while now. Had to figure out the throttle linkage and make something to work it (NOT difficult!). Everything got wired up OK, but don't have engine speed cutoff. All the snooping I did turned up no definite wire for the tach reading. No prob, though, the brake cutoff works. I have no switch on the clutch for that to turn it off, but then again, a quick tap on the brake pedal does the trick (adjusted the switch to be VERY touchy). Let me know via eMail if you need pictures of the installation.
this isnt a 5 speed its an auto.....its actually my sisters car....i have an 04 5 speed cavalier....where can you get an aftermarket cruise control system....im a mechanic so it will be cheaper to get parts from a junk yard and do the install myself....i just have never done one before and was wondering how difficult this all was to do....electrical isnt my strong suit...

My aftermarket came with a LOT of instructions, but once I got the jist of them (ie, narrowed down the 'group' for my car), it was simple. Wiring is just clipping on wiretap/piggyback clips to existing wires to get an electrical signal, or power. The main unit had dip switches to 'program' it so it knows what it will be controlling. They don't go by actual speed, they only strive to maintain a signal rate from the vehicle speed sensor. They get their 'power' by tapping into the vacuum system. My kit came with all possible necessary hardware. Take your time; exposed wires go in plastic conduit, use electircal tape to protect connection points, tuck wires with existing lines with zip-ties if possible, etc. My registry has some pics, but they aren't very specific.
