Very true as well.

If we can rig some sort of switch to interrupt when it is in gear, then that will solve the problem.

It wouldn't be too hard to look on TIS to see if there is a Neutral signal from the tranny to the ECU. Of course, I don't have a manual, so I don't really care about it. LOL

There isn't. There's nothing from the transmission telling the ECM what gear you are in.

That's surprising that it doesn't at least have an indicator for neutral. If you pop out of gear with the cruise control engaged, the engine will free rev in an attempt to maintain speed.
