How sensitive should cruise disengage at clutch be?

Just installed my rebuilt cruise amp from jamesdean on my 83 240D manual. Works perfectly. Thanks, Kris!

One thing I notice, though, is that the SLIGHTEST imaginable pressure on the clutch pedal causes the cruise to disengage. Is this as it should be, or should disengagement occur with a bit more pressure? The reason I ask is that once, when I went over a bump, the cruise disengaged, making me wonder if I tripped that (oversensitive) switch.

Is that switch adjustable? If so, how would I adjust it?

Thanks.

Is it on the pedal or the hydraulic line? If it's on the pedal it can probably be moved around to get it just right for you.

It is supposed to disengage at the first touch.
