So I got the 1350 manual t case in my bII and just got a 1350 electric t case to possibly use for my doubler. I want to know if anyone has ever hooked one up to a toggle switch and use it as my double. How rad would it be to have low low on a toggle haha if no one has ever done this then I'm gonna try and if i figure it out ill be sure to so a write up on it

Don't think it can be done (as a doubler) because the electric motor for shifting is on the oposite side that the doubler is on

It shouldn't be impossible. The electric case is in the rear, there you go. I think the toggle will be your biggest problem.

The motor on the shifter is control by the module to tell it where to stop. It would take a lot of expierimenting to get it to work with a toggle. Probably easier to find a 1354m.

It wouldn't take too much. You want a diagram of the contacts, which are not complicated - those are what tells the module where the motor is. Figure out which contacts are the low-high contacts, and use a double pole, double throw switch (so it can have two circuits) and each circuit will use a relay. The control side of the relay will be wired to the switch and the contacts for low-high, and the load side of the relay will power the motor. You'll need one circuit to use one set of contacts to spin the motor one way, and the other circuit will spin the motor the other way. I've never done this, but I've torn the motors apart before, and am a heating technician that's taken a ton of electrical controls classes in college - I know I could do it, and that's how I would do it, and that's basically how the module does it.
