I wouldn't recommend using a toggle switch only I would at least run it through a third or fourth gear switch to prevent lock up on top of second gear, it won't lock up any sooner. Locking it up in second can be tough on the converter if it shifts hard into third. It can adventually break the springs in the converter clutch.
