switches toggle.This 19-2 is finished in gray over black vinyl upholstery and is powered by a 1.6-liter inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission. I mounted the switch so that the wires were pointing at your palm if you were resting it on the shifter, I believe this is a must as the wires will have no where to go if you point them down because it will interfere with the threads, this also made the switch be on in the up position and off when the switch is down.Īs far as where the switch ended up, it ended up in the original position where the air toggle part of the switch was as I simply cut off the air toggle part and jb welded it to the end of the elec. The void was not big enough to put the body of the switch in so you will have to put the shift knob in a vise and use a drill press to remove enough of the aluminum so the switch body will fit. On the 13 speed I remember taking it apart and it seemed like after removing all the air switch parts there was a void behind where the actual toggle part of the switch was. Oh one thing I just remembered that may help, when installing the switch you have to or will want to install it with the wires going up toward the top of the shifter, I then ran them into the hollow area under the decorative cap and then back down through a hole to the bottom of the shift knob. Ebay # 230599576460 Really the hardest part is just diving in and tearing apart a perfectly good 60$ shifter, at least it was for me. Here is a ebay auction number to a switch that looks like the ones I used, You need the switch to be prewired like this cause there is no room inside the shifter to be making connections. At least you know that it can be done cause I did it. Oh figuring out how to do it is the fun part. I know that I made this sound difficult but I really did not use any special tools, when I say mill out the aluminum I just used a drill bit and a drill press so if you have access to a mill it will be even easier. One thing to watch out for is that they make the switch I was trying to explain where the toggle part will spin freely but they also make some that wont spin, you want the one that is solid so that after you glue the tab on it wont rattle or spin on you. I cut off the eaton switch ends off and simply epoxied them on to the new elect. If you are just wanting the one switch then is should be a lot easier and even though this took me 2 days to make work it was well worth the effort as the finished product is awesome. I then just started taking the eaton fuller shift knob apart and milling out the aluminum where needed and it took some work to do this and figure out how to run the wires etc. I used the smallest switch I could get from my local auto parts store, it had wires already run to the switch and was nice and shallow. ![]() I used a 13 speed so that I could run my gear splitter using the front range selector switch and the red thumb switch for the exhaust brake. Unfortunately, I never got around to doing this myself so I really can't personally be of too much help. ![]() The following are responses that he had emailed me to fairly general questions that I had asked him in regard to how he accomplished this feat. I had had some interest in doing this myself and had talked briefly with 'MONEY PIT' on here about how to go about doing it.
