clutch vent valve

[Kneale Brownson]

No BTDT, but from your description, it sounds as though the missing 
"nipple" is what gets pushed in on the ventilation valve when you push on 
the clutch, resulting in shutting down the Cruise Control.  I'd think that 
taping over or otherwise sealing the tube permanently would eliminate the 
feature that disconnects cruise when you step on the clutch.  Probably not 
a good idea.
