I had a similar experience with the clutch pedal not returning after rebuilding a "good" but well used master cylinder. When depressing the clutch in low speed situations where I was moving in stop and go traffic or balancing the car on a hill, the back and forth clutch movement would eventually result in the pedal stuck on the floor...I could pull the pedal up with my toe and all would be good until another series of the same situation occurred. I assumed that one of the two seals was allowing clutch fluid to be displaced back into the resevoir at the lower half of the stroke meaning small, less than a full stroke (your description of feathering) was a problem. I concluded that the aftermarket rebuild seals were junk, bought a new Master and all was relatively good. I say "relatively good" because the Beck Arney master I purchased came with a brittle clear nipple which broke after a week. I fixed this fail with the black nylon nipple off the old OEM unit;it fit the new unit's nipple seal much better/competently than the of failed one. So far so good with about 20K on the "fixed" replacement.
With regard to cruise control: There are actually two switches with a manual transmission and are located up under the lower driver's side kick board. The switch is a rectangle shaped object with a round spring loaded cylinder/post protruding out one end. This devise is mounted on a bracket so that the post comes into contact with either the brake pedal arm or the clutch pedal arm. Properly set up and adjusted, movement of any of the arms causes the post to extend as the clutch/brake arms are depressed: the arms move away from the switch. Occasionally the adjustment of the post(its travel is adjustable) gets pushed away (into the switch) from the clutch/brake arm so that it's fully extended at rest. When this happens the switch is "open" just like when you brake and/or clutch, "cruise" is canceled. Push the post forward so that it comes under tension and depressed against the arm. That leaves the switch "closed" and cruise operational. Naturally, automatic transmission cars will only have a switch for the brake.'95 Saab 9000 Aero 320K with TCS.
