Is ASD useful if I am swapping my auto trans to a manual? - morfordoberst - 08-06-2016
Hi,
I am thinking about getting a W124 with ASD to do a performance build. The car will still be my daily driver but I want it to have some performance capability. I want to eventually swap the transmission to a 5 or 6 speed manual transmission. If I take out the stock auto transmission is it going to affect the functionality of the ASD? I'm new to Mercedes so maybe this is a stupid question

Hi
No, ASD will work as usual. Has nothing to do with the gearbox.
The ASD will lock when ABS detects slip betveen front and rear.

Good to know. Thank you very much.

…and you still have the option to "block" the rear axle for drifting purposes or if you got stuck in bavarian wilderness e.g. …
