[Can any one tell me if the ASD diff is a progressive lock with progressive pressure, or a full instant 100% lock only?? (WITH A MANUAL HAND OPERATED PUMP)

I have searched the drivetrain section with no finds.

Cheers!!!!!!!

just lifted this from the FAQ section
The ASD is an electronically controlled, hydraulically locking differential which activates automatically when required. The electronic control allows varied amounts of differential lock from the standard 15% right up to 100%. It is not a traction control system however, and can only maximize traction rather than prevent wheel spin. Activation of the ASD system is indicated by an illuminating amber triangle in the speedometer.

Ok so it looks like the amount of diff lock can be varied with manually applied pressure then!! I was thinking it was either 100% engaged or disengaged back to the 30% ish normal slip.

Thanks.
